Booker’s new batch of its popular bourbon celebrates Master Distillers — what to know

Booker's is releasing a new batch of its popular bourbon

Fans of Booker’s Bourbon eagerly await its new releases. They don’t have to wait any longer because it just released the third release of the Booker’s 2024 Collection. It’s called Booker’s Batch 2024 03 “Master Distillers Batch,” and it was distilled to pay tribute to all the distillers (including his dad Booker Noe) that seventh-generation Jim Beam Master Distiller Fred Noe admired as he was learning the art of whiskey-making.

“Back in the day, being a Master Distiller just meant running the distillery. But these elder statesmen changed all that, raising the bar for all of us,” he said in a press release. “The job went from spending every waking moment in the distillery, to traveling the world, all the while introducing people to our beloved bourbon. They became spokesmen and celebrities in their own right.”

He added, “They made the job as big as they were. I’ve looked up to these guys my whole life.”

It’s a blend of bourbons produced on two different production dates that were stored in four different warehouses. It’s matured for specifically seven years, eight months, and seven days. The result is 130.3-proof known for its palate of vanilla beans, caramel, oak, and baking spices. It’s a sweet, spicy, bold sipping whiskey. With such a high-proof, it might be a clever idea to add a few dashes of water to open up the aromas and flavors.

Tequila Corralejo Introduces Smaller Bottle For the First Time in More Than 250 Years
Alcohol, Beer, Beverage

If you’ve walked into a Mexican bar or restaurant, chances are you’ve noticed the big blue bottle of tequila. Corralejo is famous for its tall, slim bottles that come in 750 milliliters and 1.75 liters. The 750-milliliter bottle is the standard size you’ve probably become familiar with. Corralejo also has clear bottles for its Blanco, red bottles for its Añejo, and a tall, round, bright blue bottle for its Triple Distilled Tequilas, among other shapes and types.

It’s been this way for decades and decades. But for the first time, Corralejo is meeting the demand for smaller, easily digestible, and giftable bottles. Arriving ahead of Hispanic Heritage Month and Mexican Independence Day in September, Corralejo is introducing the 375ml Reposado bottle, which aims to create “a timely entry point into Tequila Corralejo’s more than 250 years of tequila-making heritage, while offering a right-sized option for intimate gatherings, gifting, and cocktail occasions.”
