Production method
Selection of barrels from Jim Beam warehouses; aging in rackhouses and bottling at barrel-strength, uncut and unfiltered. Releases are issued in limited batches that may vary in age and proof.
Ageing
Aging in new charred American oak barrels; age varies depending on the batch, with barrel selection carried out in rackhouses.
Producer history Booker'S
Booker's originated as Booker Noe's private selection; according to official documentation the brand was introduced in 1987 as "Booker's True Barrel Bourbon", initially distributed as a personal gift and later made available to the public. Over time Booker's became part of Jim Beam's small-batch line and is released in limited batches, each with variable age and proof and often with dedicated names.
Production philosophy
The brand's philosophy is 'what comes out of the barrel' — to bottle the product as it is: manual barrel selection, bottling at barrel strength without added water and without chill filtration. The choice focuses on the warehouse 'sweet spot', waiting until the liquid is judged ready.
Territory
Clermont, Kentucky (production at James B. Beam Distilling Co., Kentucky, USA)
Awards and recognitions
Booker's (brand variations) has received recognition for limited releases; for example the Booker's Rye version was reported as 'World Whisky of the Year' by Jim Murray's Whisky Bible (official announcement).
