BOOKER'S LAUNCHES FOURTH BATCH OF ITS 2015 COLLECTION BOURBON

Booker’s Bourbon has announced the release of the fourth batch in its 2015 collection, which was hand selected during an exclusive tasting by Jim Beam’s 7th Generation Distiller Fred Noe and members of the Booker’s Bourbon Roundtable.

Booker’s Bourbon Batch 2015-04 aka the “Oven Buster Batch” (63.5% ABV) is the fourth release in the series which was launched in February, to celebrate founding distiller Booker Noe’s legacy as the father of small batch bourbon.

Uncut and unfiltered as per all previous batches, Booker’s Bourbon Batch 2015-04 has been aged for 6 years and 5 months, and is said to deliver notes of vanilla and oak and a finish that is long and smooth.

Commenting on the name of the latest Booker’s Bourbon Batch, Annis Wickham Noe, wife of Booker and mother of Fred, said: “I’ve always been fond of cooking with bourbon. Years ago, as I was preparing a pork roast, I mistakenly reached for a bottle of my husband’s namesake bourbon to pour over the roast. The oven sparked from the bourbon’s high proof and the door flew open – that’s how the Oven Buster nickname was born!”

The Roundtable panellists who helped select Batch 2015-04 included: Chuck Cowdery, Blogger and Author of “Bourbon, Strange: Surprising Stories of American Whiskey” - Geoff Kleinman, Founder and Managing Editor of drinkspirits.com - John McCarthy, Spirits Writer and Senior Managing Editor of Men’s Health Magazine - Jack Robertiello, Spirits Writer and Spirits Competition Judge and Tony Sachs, Spirits Writer and Blogger for Huffington Post.

Booker’s Bourbon Batch 2015-04, is now available across the US from specialist retailers for a RRP of $59.99.
