This 17-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey is designated Bottled-In-Bond, a certification that guarantees a strict production process and ensures incomparable flavor and consistency. To carry the bonded label, the bourbon must be the product of one distilling season from one distillery, aged in a federally bonded warehouse, and artfully bottled at 100 proof. Master Distiller Eddie Russell identified this unique, high aged liquid and pledged to share it with discerning whiskey connoisseurs around the world.

This batch is made up of four production dates that were aged in four different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker's “Pinkie's Batch” is as follows: 47% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse Z, 36% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 1, 11% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X, 6% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q. The color of this batch is a rich, golden amber that really shines when you hold it up to the light and admire the glass you've poured. The aroma is balanced with brown spice and vanilla notes, which gives you a preview of the taste. When you first sip it, your mouth is filled with Booker's signature vanilla flavor, and it leaves you with a lingering well-rounded finish. I know my dad and grandad would have enjoyed this batch over a football game, and I'm very proud to name this batch in honor of my granddad, Frederick Booker Noe.
