The first US release of Booker’s 2025 Collection is named in honor of Barry Berish, former Beam Chairman and CEO, and a dear friend to Dad and me. He was a legend at Beam, guiding us for over 40 years.
The color of “Barry’s Batch” is a bright golden amber, inviting you to lean in and take in the wonderful aroma. The nose is warm and welcoming, with hints of vanilla and a touch of sweetness from the more than 7 years it spent aging in new white oak barrels. When I took a sip of this batch, the cozy flavor that filled my mouth reminded me of a chilly January morning, perfect for enjoying a good bourbon. The balanced finish was smooth and left me wanting more – it’s just that good!
125.7 Proof / 62.85% ABV
Intense sharpness of cooked agave without being overbearing
Balanced flavors between oak and the fruity flavors of agave.
What lingers on the tongue, longer & richer flavors of cooked agave. In other words, delicately balanced.
