Booker’s Bourbon 2022-01 Ronnie's Batch

Ronnie’s Batch, the first release of 2022, is named in honor of longtime Beam employee and warehouse manager Ronnie Land, who worked closely with Booker Noe for many years. Ronnie’s deep knowledge of barrel rotation, rickhouse conditions, and optimal aging windows made him an invaluable part of the distilling team—earning this rare recognition on a Booker’s label.

This batch is a high-proof, uncut bourbon drawn from barrels specifically chosen for their alignment with the Booker’s profile: bold, complex, and layered. It reflects Ronnie’s eye for maturation and consistency, highlighting the human element behind every great bourbon. Stored primarily in central warehouse positions, the barrels benefited from the stable yet dynamic environmental changes that shape well-rounded flavor over time.

The batch is a tribute not just to Ronnie, but to every behind-the-scenes craftsman who makes heritage whiskey possible. For collectors and enthusiasts alike, this bottle represents a blend of experience, legacy, and authentic Kentucky bourbon culture.

Booker’s Bourbon is a small-batch, uncut, and unfiltered Kentucky straight bourbon known for its raw intensity and deep connection to American whiskey heritage. Launched in 1988 by Booker Noe, the sixth-generation Master Distiller and grandson of Jim Beam, this brand redefined what full-proof bourbon could be — honest, bold, and unapologetically complex.

Each batch of Booker’s is bottled at cask strength and aged in a specific center-cut section of the warehouse, where temperature and airflow naturally develop a richer flavor. The bourbon is known for its high proof, deep amber color, and layered notes of vanilla, spice, oak, and roasted nuts — offering enthusiasts a rare look at bourbon in its purest form.

Booker’s is part of the James B. Beam Distilling Company (under Beam Suntory), and continues to honor tradition while inviting collectors and connoisseurs into the story behind every release. With no chill filtration and no dilution, Booker’s remains a standout among premium American bourbons for those who want an unfiltered taste of true Kentucky craftsmanship.
