This is the third and latest 2024 installment of the limited production project from the Bourbon leaders, Booker’s, and their iconic master distiller, Freddie Noe. He’s calling this batch his ‘Master Distiller’s Batch’ as an homage to the men who helped shape his illustrious career including his Hall-of-Fame father, the legend Booker Noe. This one is for how Booker and the “older statesmen” as Freddie calls them, changed the job of Master Distiller from just managing the distillery to doing it all and becoming celebrities in the process.
This is a little bit of an older age statement than the last few in the series. The age is 7 years, 8 months, 7 days and is 130.3 proof. In fact, much of this batch was produced in 2016 on Freddie’s dad’s birthday, December 7th. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker’s “Master Distillers Batch” is as follows:
10% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse Z
11% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse 1
42% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse 3
37% came from the 3rd floor of 9-story warehouse J
