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.

The batch is made up of barrels from three different production dates stored in four different rackhouses in six different locations.

This will be a history making batch of Booker's Bourbon since I selected this batch with the help of my son and 8th Generation Beam Distiller, Freddie Noe. The color is a rich, light brown that reminds me of the beautiful horses throughout Kentucky. The aroma contains vanilla, toasted nuts and some hints of baking spices. The flavor is full and has a finish that can be enjoyed neat. We enjoyed tasting it and selecting the barrels on an unseasonably cool and rainy day. This batch is special to me since I created it with my son to carry on my father's legacy and his distillery location. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed selecting it.
