Booker's "Springfield Batch" Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2024-01): A Homecoming in Every Sip

Immerse yourself in the foundational history of the Beam family with Booker's "Springfield Batch" Small Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (2024-01). As the inaugural release of the highly anticipated 2024 Booker's Bourbon Collection, this exceptional, uncut, and unfiltered bourbon pays a heartfelt tribute to Springfield, Kentucky – the charming rural hometown of Booker Noe's mother, Margaret Beam Noe, and a place that profoundly shaped Booker's early life and strong work ethic.

Booker's Bourbon continues its uncompromising tradition of crafting robust, barrel-strength bourbons with "Springfield Batch." This particular expression is aged for a precise 7 years, 7 months, and 8 days in new, charred American white oak barrels. The whiskey is a meticulously selected blend of barrels from five different production dates, aged across four distinct Jim Beam warehouses (specifically: 17% from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse G, 7% from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse H, 31% from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z, and 45% from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 3). This diverse warehouse sourcing contributes to its multifaceted flavor profile. Bottled at a bold 124.5 Proof (62.25% ABV), "Springfield Batch" delivers the signature Booker's intensity: rich, full-bodied, and bursting with character, while offering unique nuances that distinguish it as a memorable start to the 2024 series.
