Booker's Lumberyard Batch (2022-02)
The batch is made up of five production dates that were aged in seven different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker's “The Lumberyard Batch” is as follows: 2% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X, 3% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 5, 3% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse D, 17% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse Z, 19% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q, 28% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 1, 28% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse Z. This batch was pulled during the rainy weeks ahead of the Kentucky Derby. The beautiful amber color of this batch reminds me of the horses that will compete on the racetrack. The aroma is deep with hints of vanilla and oak that lead you back to enjoy it several times to explore its depth. It has a balanced taste with a bit of sweetness and a pleasant finish that will leave you longing for another sip. My dad would be really proud to have a batch dedicated to his hard-working years at The Lumberyard and the experience this liquid delivers with every glass.

Blanton's Special Reserve
At 80 proof Blanton's Special Reserve is ideal for those new to single barrel bourbons. It has a slightly floral nose that conveys whispers of cedar and raisin in between soft vanilla notes. The palate has a light airy feel to it. The taste of vanilla and toffee dance around subtle notes of dried fruit and white pepper. Its smooth consistency makes it perfect for a premium cocktail or served on the rocks. Bottled at 40% alcohol by volume.

Part of the The Sazerac Company family of brands.
Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.
