Bookers Bourbon Batch 2023-01 Charlie’s Batch 750mL

The first release of the Bookers Bourbon 2023 Collection is Bookers Batch 2023-01 Charlies Batch. This batch is named in honor of Charlie Hutchens, the craftsman behind the signature wooden boxes that each bottle of Bookers Bourbon comes in. He is also a longtime family friend and former employee of my dad, Booker Noe.

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES

This batch is made up of barrels from four production dates that were aged in four different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Bookers Charlies Batch is as follows:

3% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q

17% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse G

24% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse Z

27% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z

29% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 1

The color of this batch is pleasant to the eye with an amber color of a well-aged bourbon. The nose is balanced without too much wood and with hints of oak, toasted nuts, and vanilla. This is the aroma that Dad always looked for in his Bookers. The taste is balanced with a slight warmth and has a pleasant finish. This batch came out just the way Dad liked it, and I know he would be happy that I named it for Charlie. I hope you enjoy this batch of Bookers as much as I do.
