Description

Booker’s Teresa’s Batch 6 Year is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon from James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. Released as Batch 2019-01 and bottled at 125.9 proof, this uncut, unfiltered Booker’s release is part of the named-batch series Master Distiller Fred Noe oversees.

Master Distiller Fred Noe selected the batch from across four different rack-houses, aged 6 years, 3 months, 1 day. As the first release in the Booker’s 2019 Collection, this batch pays homage to Teresa Wittemer, a Bookers employee who was hired on the spot after a quick 15 minute interview and has worked their ever since.

Per Fred Noe’s notes, on the nose, it shows deep and complex notes of vanilla, nuts, and oak. The palate brings robust vanilla and caramel with a slightly smoky edge, and the finish carries a long and full character built for easygoing sipping. The pour shows Booker’s darkest, deepest amber and henna color.

A 2019 Booker’s release, this named batch is closely tracked by collectors building a complete Booker’s run. Bottled at full barrel strength with no chill filtration, it rewards a few drops of water and drinks well neat or over a single large cube.
