At 127.9 proof, one of the higher-proof releases in the 2014 batch series.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBatch 2014-05 predates the naming system Booker's introduced in 2016. The 2014 releases are now over a decade from original bottling. The Jim Beam mashbill (75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley) at barrel proof and 7+ years of center-cut rickhouse aging produces the program's characteristic rich, oily, concentrated character. Comes in the signature Booker's wooden presentation box.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baking spice. \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full and concentrated — toffee, charred barrel, rye spice, brown sugar, dark fruit. \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with persistent barrel spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jim Beam Distillery, Clermont, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Uncut, Unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMashbill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75% corn, 13% rye, 12% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 years, 5 months\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 127.9 (63.95% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBatch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014-05\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bookers\"\u003eBooker's Bourbon\u003c\/a\u003e at Wooden Cork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs Booker's Batch 2014-05 still available?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — available now.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhy did Booker's switch from numbered batches to named batches?\u003c\/strong\u003e In 2016, Booker's introduced the naming system — each batch named after a person, place, or memory from Booker Noe's life.
