Sometimes the best thing for a whiskey is to leave it alone. When we filled a handful of Oloroso sherry barrels, we didn't mean to forget about them in a rickhouse, but that's precisely what happened. We're thrilled to share those results with you now. This rare spirit spent an extended finishing period in our Oloroso barrels, and the lengthened oxidation process resulted in a remarkable sequence of flavors that are unlike any other whiskey we've ever tasted. Each sip carries unique raisin and fruit qualities with just a hint of hazelnut on the nose. Our Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks release is available at our distillery for a limited time.

The batch is made up of barrels from three different production dates stored in four different rackhouses in six different locations. The breakdown of the barrel storage is as follows: 11% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 5, 33% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse G, 27% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse H, 29% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z. This will be a history making batch of Booker's Bourbon since I selected this batch with the help of my son and 8th Generation Beam Distiller, Freddie Noe. The color is a rich, light brown that reminds me of the beautiful horses throughout Kentucky. The aroma contains vanilla, toasted nuts and some hints of baking spices. The flavor is full and has a finish that can be enjoyed neat. We enjoyed tasting it and selecting the barrels on an unseasonably cool and rainy day. This batch is special to me since I created it with my son to carry on my father's legacy and his distillery location. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed selecting it.
