Each quarter, Jim Beam releases a single barrel selection ("batch") honoring the late 6th Generation Master Distiller Booker Noe and names it for a memory associated with him. Batch 2021-01 is dedicated to retired Jim Beam employee Mike Donohoe, a close friend of Booker's, with whom he indulged in a "special stash" of uncut, unfiltered whiskey that wowed them so much, it was shared with close friends, distributors and industry partners. This uncut and unfiltered bourbon was bottled at 125.

Tasting Notes

"This is perhaps one of the most balanced of the Booker's special batch selections, with just the right hit of sweetness playing off subtle herbal notes. It's big, sweet, and chewy, with flavors of ripe, red apples, caramel-coated popcorn, peanuts, baking spices and a hint of grassiness that plays off the long, sweet finish. Hit it with a big cube, and a porch at sunset as the BBQ smokes. "
