The 2024 release of Booker’s Bourbon is a powerful tribute to legacy, crafted in honour of master distiller Fred Noe’s father, Booker Noe. Aptly named the Springfield Batch, this expression celebrates Booker’s hometown of Springfield, Kentucky, and the roots of a bourbon icon.
Aged for seven years, one month, and 12 days, this uncut and unfiltered bourbon is bottled at a bold 62.2% ABV, staying true to Booker’s uncompromising character. The batch blends five whiskies of varying ages from four different aging warehouses—each contributing subtle layers of complexity.
Expect a rich, full-bodied profile laced with coconut molasses, caramel-drenched dark chocolate, and a dusting of white pepper and cinnamon. The finish is long, warming, and unmistakably Booker’s: raw, honest, and deeply satisfying.
This is not just a bourbon—it’s a heartfelt homage to family, craftsmanship, and tradition in its most authentic form.

This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won't fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there's no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure?
