William Larue Weller developed his original bourbon recipe with wheat, rather than rye. Bottled at the same 114 proof the spirit was when it entered into the barrel, this non-chill filtered wheated bourbon forgoes chill filtration to preserve all the naturally occurring residual oils and flavors that occur during the distillation and aging process (potentially making it appear cloudy at cold temperatures). This bourbon balances a rich mouth feel, with robust notes of vanilla and oak. A whiskey that satisfies the demand of the non-chill filtered whiskey enthusiasts, honoring the man who made wheated bourbon legendary.

The batch is made up of barrels from two production dates that were aged in five different rackhouse locations. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker's Pigskin Batch is as follows: 14% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse L, 15% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse H, 27% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse M, 32% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X, 12% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z. This batch of Booker's has a beautiful color that previews the complexity you will experience when you stick your nose into the glass for the first time. The brown sweets come through with some slight vanilla notes. The taste is big and bold, and this batch is bottled straight from the barrel - just the way all Booker's batches have been since Dad created his namesake brand more than 30 years ago. The finish is long and warm. This will be a great batch to enjoy as the temperatures start to drop a little and you're watching your favorite football teams this season.
