Bookers Bourbon Batch 2021-02 Tagalong Batch 750mL

The second release of the Bookers Bourbon 2021 Collection is Bookers Batch 2021-02 Tagalong Batch. This batch celebrates the way my dad, Booker Noe, learned the ropes at the distillery – by tagging along with his grandfather and my great grandfather, Jim Beam.

The batch is made up of barrels from three production dates that were aged in six different rackhouse locations. The breakdown of barrel storage for Bookers Tagalong Batch is as follows:

4% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 5

3% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X

13% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse D

33% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse H

40% came from the 7th floor of 9-story warehouse H

7% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z

The deep rich color of Tagalong Batch comes from the mid-to-high rackhouse floor locations where these barrels have matured. With pronounced aromas of caramel and vanilla, balanced with the sweet brown wood sugar flavor notes from the charred white oak barrels, this batch carries a bold flavor with a surprisingly clean finish – making you want to come back for another sip.
