Description

Booker’s Tommy’s Batch 6 Year is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon from James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. Released as Batch 2017-01 and bottled at 128.5 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 three different rack-houses, aged 6 years, 4 months and 6 days. First of four batches in the Booker’s 2017 Collection, this release is named after Tommy, who retired in 2016 after almost 30 years with the company. Booker’s is always bottled uncut, unfiltered, and at barrel proof.

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

A 2017 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.
