Product Description: 

Booker’s “Jerry’s Batch”  Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Small Batch • Uncut & Unfiltered • Barrel Strength • Aged 6–7 years (typical Booker’s maturation) • Proof varies by batch, often 124–130+ proof • Crafted at the Jim Beam Distillery under the Booker Noe legacy program.

 “Jerry’s Batch” honors Jerry Dalton, the only master distiller to follow in Booker Noe’s footsteps before handing the reins to Fred Noe. Known for his scientific rigor and obsession with precision, Jerry brought a new level of refinement to Booker’s beloved big-proof bourbon balancing explosive flavor with exacting distillation standards.

 This batch captures both the raw muscle of traditional Booker’s and the subtle structure Jerry valued. The result is a high-proof bourbon that hits hard, finishes long, and shows the mark of a craftsman who treated every drop like a responsibility.

Tasting Notes

•  Nose
• Warm caramel, roasted peanuts, toasted oak, vanilla bean, leather, and a dusting of cinnamon and cocoa. Classic Booker’s aromatics layered with deeper oak and spice.
• Palate
  Dense, rich, and full-bodied. Molasses, dark brown sugar, barrel char, rye-driven spice, and waves of roasted nut and toffee. Mid-palate reveals baked apple, cinnamon roll, and a hint of dark chocolate. Bold heat balanced by deep sweetness.
• Finish
  Long, warming, and signature Booker’s in every way—lingering oak, burnt caramel, peanut brittle, and spice. A finish that sticks with you like a memory.
