Booker's The Reserves 2025: Bourbon Meets Tequila in a Historic First
Experience the most groundbreaking Booker's release in decades. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for rare and innovative whiskeys, is thrilled to present Booker's Bourbon "The Reserves" 2025 Release. This limited-edition bottling marks a historic first for the James B. Beam Distilling Co., blending their uncut, unfiltered power with a unique tequila cask finish.
This isn't just any finish. Master Distiller Freddie Noe used barrels with an incredible journey: first used to age the legendary Booker's 30th Anniversary Bourbon, then shipped to Mexico to age El Tesoro's 85th Anniversary Extra Añejo Tequila. Finally, they returned to Kentucky to finish this specific batch of Booker's.
The result is a bourbon that retains the bold, "uncut and unfiltered" soul of Booker's while introducing a layer of brightness and complexity never before seen in the line. Aged for 8 years, 10 months, and 11 days, and bottled at a potent 123.3 proof (61.65% ABV), this is a true collector's masterpiece.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A surprising and sophisticated balance. Classic notes of brown sugar and vanilla are lifted by fresh hints of agave, bright citrus, and a touch of eucalyptus and mint.
Palate: Deep, dark, and simmering. The signature Booker's power is there—rich caramel, charred oak, and baking spice—but it's beautifully softened by a syrupy texture and bright notes of golden raisin, honey, and floral agave.
Finish: Complex and evolving. The finish moves from sweet caramel to a drying, spicy oak, leaving a final, memorable note of agave sweetness and cracked black pepper.
This release pushes the boundaries of what Booker's can be while honoring its legacy. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this highly allocated, history-making bourbon. Secure your bottle of The Reserves 2025 today.
