Small batch. Booker's Off Your Rocker — a named batch from Jim Beam's Booker's program, each bottle a personal tribute to the legacy of Booker Noe, the Master Distiller who invented cask-strength commercial bourbon in 1988.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBooker's Bourbon was created by Booker Noe — Jim Beam's Master Distiller from 1965 to 1992 and the grandson of Jim Beam himself — as the first commercially released cask-strength, unfiltered, uncut American bourbon. Noe developed it for his personal use and private gifts before colleagues convinced him to release it commercially. It set the template for every barrel-strength bourbon that followed, including George T. Stagg, William Larue Weller, and the entire category now known as cask-strength bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEach Booker's named batch is a specific barrel selection at its natural proof, ages typically ranging 6–8 years and proofs ranging 121–131. The name \"Off Your Rocker\" reflects the Noe family's tradition of giving each batch a personal, often playful name connected to Kentucky life and Noe family heritage. Each named batch is a distinct, unrepeatable expression — a different barrel selection, different natural proof, and different character from any other batch in the series.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich amber from Booker's cask-strength small batch aging.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, caramel, and warm grain spice at natural barrel-strength intensity.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold and full — the small batch barrel selection at uncut proof, delivering the full force of the Booker's high-rye character.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming — the cask-strength delivery extending the finish well beyond standard-proof bourbon.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jim Beam, Clermont, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Small Batch, Cask Strength\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBatch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Off Your Rocker (named batch)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uncut, unfiltered\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWho was Booker Noe and why does the naming matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Booker Noe was Jim Beam's Master Distiller from 1965 to 1992 and grandson of Jim Beam. He created Booker's in 1988 as the first commercial cask-strength unfiltered bourbon. Since 2016 each batch has been given a personal name by the Noe family, connecting every release to a specific memory, place, or character from Kentucky and Noe family heritage.
