Provenance & Credibility
Booker's Bourbon was created by Booker Noe, sixth-generation Beam family distiller and grandson of Jim Beam, to showcase bourbon exactly as it tastes straight from the barrel. Launched in 1988, Booker's was one of the first small-batch bourbons and helped pioneer the barrel proof category.
Today, the series remains one of America's most respected barrel proof releases, produced at Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, with the same commitment to authenticity, transparency, and flavour that Booker Noe championed.
Each batch is released with detailed information about aging, proof, and warehouse location, maintaining the transparency and honesty that defines the brand.
