Booker’s Bourbon Small Batch No. 2024-02 750ml

Batch No. 2024-02 is 7 years old and bottles at 62.3% ABV (124.6 proof).

The second release of the Booker’s Bourbon 2024 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2024-02 “The Beam House Batch.” This batch is named after my family’s home, a real special place full of beginnings, traditions, and memories not just for me, but for everyone at Beam.

I grew up just around the corner and lived next door for years before moving in after Dad passed away. “The Beam House,” as the name suggests, has been part of my family for generations- my great grandad, Jim Beam lived here, my dad, Booker Noe, lived here, and now I do. It’s just kind of the way it goes in our family.

We’ve always spent a lot of time here together, whether it’s for Sunday dinners, drinking bourbon on the porch, or doing tastings for batches of Booker’s. Back when I lived next door, I used to walk across the yard with samples from the plant so Dad and whoever else was lucky enough to be there could gather round the kitchen table and taste them over some barbecue.

Booker loved to entertain and always wanted to bring people through the house. Lord knows how many people have been here over the years; friends, neighbors, business partners, employees. Everyone’s welcome. Dad loved when people would stop by and come on out back for a drink, and now it’s a tradition I’m proud to carry on. In this batch, I’ve tried to capture some of the joyful memories I’ve made in the Beam House for you to enjoy at yours.

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES:

The Beam House batch is a special one for me since it’s named after our family home and has so many special memories. The batch is made up of five production dates stored in four different warehouse locations. The age of the batch will be 7 years 2 months and 22 days when the barrels are dumped. The proof of the batch will be 124.6 proof.

The breakdown of barrel storage for the Booker’s “Beam House Batch” is as follows:

14% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z
28% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 3
14% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 3
19% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q
25% came from the 7th floor of 9-story warehouse H

The color of the batch is a rich and deep amber, inviting you to put your nose deep into the glass and enjoy the aroma. The nose is pleasant with vanilla and some dried fruits notes enticing you to take a taste. When I tasted this batch, the warm flavor that spread through my mouth reminded me of sitting on the porch of the Beam home. The welcoming aroma and taste lead to a long and pleasantly sweeter finish coming from the aging in oak barrels. I know you will enjoy this batch of Booker’s named for the place many Beam family members called home, and where I call home today.
