2021’s Third Batch Of Booker’s Headed To Store Shelves

The latest batch of Jim Beam’s seminal uncut, unfiltered expression, Booker’s, is on it’s way to store shelves now, and it has been dubbed “Booker’s Bardstown.” The basics of the connection between the legendary Booker Noe and Bardstown, the industrial center of bourbon, should be obvious, but there is more to it than the basics. According to the press release:

“Booker was born in Springfield, Kentucky, but spent a good amount of time in Bardstown visiting friends along with his grandfather, Jim Beam. After going to college, he moved to Bardstown full-time to join the family business. Booker lived in Bardstown for more than 50 years and was well known in the community for his infectious personality. He was the ultimate host, always inviting people over to the house for drinks and dinner parties. These events became well known across town, especially when Booker was serving his country ham that he would smoke right in the backyard – a practice he learned from his grandfather and one that 7th Generation Master Distiller Fred Noe continues to this day.”

The Bardstown Batch came out as 125.5 proof, aged 6 years and 5 months. The price point is holding steady at $89.99.
