Booker’s Bourbon 2025-01 “Barry’s Batch”

Booker's Bourbon Batch 2025-01

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 62.85%

Score: 93 Points

2025’s first release of Booker’s celebrates the late Beam CEO Barry Berish, who was close to the Noe family for many years. The nose has touches of caramel candy, brown sugar, honey, and charred oak. The taste is peppery and astringent with black pepper, cinnamon, and clove notes balanced by touches of caramel and brown sugar in the background. The finish is long and spicy. Excellent!
