Product Description: 

Booker’s “By the Pond” Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Aged 7 years, 1 month & 20 days • 126.5 proof • Private Batch from Eight Warehouses

Booker’s “By the Pond” Batch is a soul-filled bourbon distilled from tradition, aged with intention, and bottled with pride. Named after the beloved backyard pond where Fred Noe found his peace, this bourbon brings together barrels from eight different warehouses on the Beam estate across varying floors, each contributing unique character. At a fiery 126.5 proof, it’s bold yet remarkably balanced—power in the proof, grace in the details. 

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep amber honey with copper tones, thick-legged across the glass.  
• Nose: Sweet vanilla and fresh oak lead, followed by caramel, baking spices, and a subtle undertone of toasted nuts and fig.  
• Palate: Rich and layered vanilla, cinnamon roll, black cardamom, cola sweetness, and dark fruit punch mingle with oak and clove. Smooth despite the heat.  
• Finish: Long and warming oak, black pepper, and spice linger, with a final echo of caramel and sweet wood.
