“Booker’s Bluegrass” marked the first batch of the 2016 Booker’s Bourbon series, celebrating Booker Noe’s deep Kentucky roots and love for bluegrass music. This batch was crafted from barrels aged just shy of seven years in a combination of center-cut rackhouse locations, chosen to reflect the harmony and boldness that defined both Booker’s legacy and the music he loved. Bottled uncut and unfiltered at 127.9 proof, this release captures the classic Booker’s signature: full-bodied, intense, and unapologetically rich.
