Booker's Milkshake Batch 2026-02 Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Booker's Bourbon honors Booker Noe, the legendary sixth-generation master distiller of Jim Beam, who first gave bottles of his barrel-strength bourbon to friends before it reached the public in 1992. Today Beam Suntory releases it in small batches every few months, each one bottled uncut and unfiltered in the bold style Noe favored.

Batch 2026-02 is the second release of the 2026 collection. The "Milkshake Batch" nickname recalls Booker Noe's habit of stirring bourbon into homemade chocolate malted milkshakes, and it does not describe a flavored whiskey. This Kentucky straight bourbon is aged 7 years, 6 months, and 12 days, and it blends barrels filled on four production dates and stored in four different warehouses. It is bottled at natural batch strength of 124.4 proof, or 62.2% ABV.

Rich golden amber in the glass, the bourbon opens with aromas of vanilla and warm spices. The palate is big and bold and unmistakably Booker's, with the full-bodied intensity of a barrel-strength pour. The finish is long and delightful, making this a memorable batch for fans of high-proof bourbon.
