About the product
A bold limited release from Booker’s and the second rye ever to carry the name, The Reserves 2026 is a Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey finished in apple brandy barrels and infused with cinnamon. Aged 6 years, 2 months and 23 days and bottled uncut and unfiltered at a robust 125.1 proof, it continues the spirit of innovation that defined Booker Noe.
Inspired by Booker’s annual homemade “A.B.C. Wassail,” a winter tradition built around apples, bourbon barrels and cinnamon, this expression delivers bright apple, sweet caramel and seasoned oak on the nose. The palate opens with charred oak, vanilla and caramel, balanced by delicate cinnamon, leading to a long finish of warm cinnamon baked apple.
A full flavored, fall inspired rye that remains true to Booker’s uncompromising style while exploring new layers of character. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water.
