Booker's "The Lumberyard Batch" Batch 2022-02 750ml
Description
2022-02. The Lumberyard Batch. Booker's — the second 2022 named batch, with 'The Lumberyard' name referencing the timber and barrel-making heritage that underpins American bourbon — specifically the oak lumber tradition that produces the new charred barrels required by law for Kentucky straight bourbon maturation.
American bourbon is inseparable from white oak lumber — every batch must age in new, charred American oak containers. The Lumberyard name honors the sawmill and cooperage tradition that supplies the char-graded staves used in barrel construction, a forgotten infrastructure of the bourbon industry that is as essential as the distillery itself.
