Bookers “Kitchen Table” Bourbon Batch 2018-04

The fourth and final batch of Booker’s Bourbon for 2018 is called “Kitchen Table,” named after Booker Noe’s favorite places.  There, Noe liked to read the newspaper, tinker with his projects, and notably, it’s where he gathered family and friends to help him select batches of his namesake whiskey. 

This batch is made from barrels produced on three different production dates and stored in six different locations. The breakdown is as follows:

7% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse E
14% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse E
4% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse E
24% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse J
44% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse J
7% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse D

This batch has a beautiful color that is a deep chestnut and has a robust and flavor-rich taste profile.  The nose is a rich balance of vanilla and oak that comes from aging in the white oak barrels for over six years.
