Product Description: Booker’s Bourbon 'Barry’s Batch' 2025-01 is the first release of the year from the iconic Booker’s Bourbon series. Named in honor of Barry Hay, Warehouse Manager at the James B. Beam Distilling Co., this batch celebrates his dedication to aging excellence. Bottled uncut and unfiltered at barrel strength, 'Barry's Batch' is a true expression of craft bourbon. With a proof of approximately 126.6 (63.3% ABV), it offers a bold yet balanced flavor that Booker Noe himself would be proud of.
Crafted using a traditional mash bill of 77% corn, 13% rye, and 10% malted barley, this small batch bourbon is aged for 7 years, 2 months, and 29 days. The result is a robust, full-bodied whiskey with depth, complexity, and the unmistakable Booker’s character.
