As a child, Fred Noe would go fishing with his father, where the two would enjoy homemade chocolate malted milkshakes spiked with a generous pour of bourbon after a day out on the water. That family tradition is the inspiration behind the second release of Booker's 2026 Collection — Batch 2026-02, the \"Milkshake Batch.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003eThis batch is composed of barrels drawn from four production dates, stored across four different seven-story rickhouses: 32% from the fifth floor of Warehouse G at Waterfall, 26% from the fifth floor of Warehouse 3, 23% from the third floor of Warehouse L, and 19% from the third floor of Warehouse M. Bottled uncut and unfiltered at its natural batch strength of 124.4 proof, and aged 7 years, 6 months, and 12 days, \"Milkshake Batch\" delivers the bold, concentrated intensity Booker's is known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\"The aroma is rich and thick with vanilla and oak that is inviting you to take a taste,\" said master distiller Fred Noe of this release. \"I enjoyed the full, flavorful finish that lingers and makes you want another sip.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNote: Despite its name, this is a traditional straight bourbon — it is not milkshake-flavored.
