Description
Booker’s Kathleen’s Batch 6 Year is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon from James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky. Released as Batch 2018-01 and bottled at 127.4 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, 3 months, 14 days. Named in honor of Kathleen DiBenedetto, who played an essential role in launching the Small Batch Bourbon Collection with Booker Noe in the early 1990s.
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 2018 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.
