Booker’s Bourbon 2022-04 Pinkie's Batch

Pinkie’s Batch is the fourth release in the 2022 Booker’s lineup and a deeply personal tribute to Booker Noe’s father, Albert “Pinkie” Noe. While not a distiller himself, Pinkie played an instrumental role in shaping Booker’s values—emphasizing discipline, work ethic, and an appreciation for the craft. This release honors that influence with a thoughtfully aged bourbon drawn from barrels stored in high airflow zones, where maturation is accelerated by temperature variation.

True to the Booker’s tradition, Pinkie’s Batch is bottled uncut and unfiltered, capturing the essence of its original barrel strength. Each bottle is part of a carefully curated batch, selected for its balance of strength and complexity. The label design and accompanying batch story pay homage to Pinkie’s legacy and the foundational role family plays in American whiskey history.

As with all Booker’s releases, the integrity of the whiskey rests in its authenticity—made for those who appreciate full-bodied bourbons with heritage and intention behind every drop.

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.
