Booker’s Bourbon Batch 2025-01 – Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

Booker’s Bourbon 2025-01 “Barry’s Batch” is the inaugural release of the 2025 Booker’s Collection, crafted as a heartfelt tribute to Barry Berish, the former Chairman and CEO of Jim Beam. Berish, who led the company for over four decades and passed away in early 2024, was instrumental in shaping the legacy of Beam and was a close friend to the Noe family.

Booker’s Bourbon is a small-batch, barrel-proof bourbon named after Booker Noe, the legendary sixth-generation master distiller at Jim Beam and grandson of Jim Beam himself. Introduced in 1988, Booker’s was one of the first bourbons to embrace the uncut, unfiltered, high-proof style—offering whiskey lovers a raw, authentic taste of the barrel, just as Booker preferred it.

Each batch is carefully selected and released only a few times a year, often named in honor of influential figures in the brand’s history or personal friends of the Noe family. Every bottle is hand-labeled and includes a short aging statement, batch number, and proof—true to Booker’s vision of transparency and quality.

Booker’s stands as a cornerstone of the Jim Beam Small Batch Collection, which also includes Basil Hayden’s, Knob Creek, and Baker’s. While others may be crafted for balance or approachability, Booker’s is bold by design—meant for seasoned bourbon drinkers who appreciate rich flavor, strong character, and genuine heritage.
