Uncut. Small batch. Booker's \"The Reserves\" 2024 Limited Edition — the most recent named batch from Jim Beam's Booker's program, honoring the legacy of Booker Noe, the Master Distiller who invented cask-strength commercial bourbon in 1988.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBooker Noe created Booker's Bourbon in 1988 as the world's first commercially released cask-strength, unfiltered, uncut American bourbon — the founding act of an entire category. Since 2016, each Booker's batch has been given a personal name by the Noe family, connecting the release to a specific memory, place, or story from the family's Kentucky heritage. \"The Reserves\" references the reserve barrels — the finest, most carefully selected barrels held back by the distillery for special releases — honoring Booker Noe's practice of reserving exceptional barrels for the most discerning palates.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe 2024 is the most recent Booker's named batch release, representing the current state of the Jim Beam small barrel-strength program under Fred Noe (Booker's son and current Jim Beam Master Distiller) and Freddie Noe (third generation). Each batch draws from a different selection of barrels at their natural proof — the 2024's specific proof and character reflecting that year's selection from Jim Beam's Clermont rickhouses.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich amber from Booker's characteristic cask-strength aging.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, caramel, and warm grain spice — the Booker's signature at natural cask-strength intensity.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold and full — the reserve barrel selection delivering maximum extraction at uncut proof.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming — the cask-strength character through an extended satisfying close.\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 The Reserves 2024 (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\u003eWhat does \"The Reserves\" mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e References the practice of holding back reserve barrels — the finest, most carefully selected stock reserved for special releases.
