Booker's

Booker’s bourbon is one of the small batch bourbons produced by the Jim Beam distillery. It was personally selected from barrels by Jim Beam's grandson, the late distiller emeritus Booker Noe. Noe originally bottled this straight-from-the-barrel bourbon as gifts to close friends and family, but eventually made it available to the general public in 1988. Each barrel of Booker's bourbon was aged at the very center of the rackhouse where temperature and humidity combine in proportions favorable for fine bourbons and was hand-selected by Noe himself. Booker's bourbon is aged between six and eight years and is bottled un-cut and un-filtered at its natural proof between 121 and 127. While it is not necessary to cut the bourbon with water, a splash or two of distilled water is recommended to unlock some of the flavor.

Booker’s has won numerous awards, including Wine Enthusiast's [http://www.internetwines.com/mb311504.html Gold Medal Bourbon award] .
