Booker’s Bourbon ‘The Reserves’ 2024
‘The Reserves’ 2024 release is comprised of eight different whiskies from eight separate barrels, each sourced from the center cut in one of eight warehouses at cask strength. The whiskeys are:
- 8 Years, 2 Months, 12 Days on the 4th floor of warehouse G
- 8 Years, 5 Months, 19 Days on the 5th floor of warehouse I
- 8 Years, 5 Months, 20 Days on the 5th floor of warehouse Z
- 9 Years, 2 Months, 3 Days on the 5th floor of warehouse Q
- 9 Years, 2 Months, 4 Days on the 6th floor of warehouse J
- 9 Years, 5 Months, 18 Days on the 7th floor of warehouse H
- 10 Years, 3 Months, 2 Days on the 4th floor of warehouse X
- 14 Years, 4 Months, 16 Days on the 6th floor of warehouse I
‘The Reserves’ are designed to emulate the type of bourbon that Freddie Noe believes his grandfather, Booker, would be making in the present day, drawing inspiration from Booker’s Small Batch Bourbon Collection. Booker Noe was a pioneer in the Small Batch category.
In contrast to the annual Booker’s Batches, which will continue, ‘The Reserves’ hail from scarcer barrels, and will therefore be released in more limited quantities.
“I created ‘The Reserves’ series to commemorate my grandaddy Booker,” shared Freddie Noe, 8th Generation Master Distiller of the Fred B. Noe Distillery. “Liquid like this can take a while to find, but when I do, it feels like the Big Man himself picked them out. It’s just the kind of Bourbon I believe my grandaddy would be making if he were still alive with us now.”
