Booker’s Bourbon Batch 2023-02 Apprentice Batch is the second exciting release from the Booker's® Bourbon 2023 Collection. This batch pays tribute to the early years of Booker Noe, the renowned Sixth-Generation Master Distiller, as he honed his bourbon-making skills under the guidance of his cousin, Carl Beam.
The 'Apprentice Batch' embodies the dedication, hard work, and passion that Booker poured into his formative years, as he learned, evolved, and eventually mastered the craft. Each sip of this carefully selected batch is like a journey through bourbon history—rich, complex, and deeply satisfying.
With the Apprentice Batch, you experience the traditions and techniques handed down through generations, refined and perfected by Booker himself. It's more than just a bourbon; it's a tribute to the legacy of a Master Distiller.
MASTER DISTILLER NOTES
"This batch is made up of barrels that were aged in six different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker’s “Apprentice Batch” is as follows:
7% came from the 7th floor of 9-story warehouse H
9% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse W
11% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 1
18% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse O
19% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse G
36% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse Z
The liquid is a medium amber color from the seven years spent aging in the white oak barrels. The oak-forward aroma is well-balanced with notes of vanilla and toasted nuts, and all together the result is really pleasant. After the first sip, you’ll find the long finish doesn’t overpower the warm taste. I know Carl and Booker would’ve been proud of this batch and enjoyed it together after a long day's work at the distillery."
