This bottling of a Bookers Kentucky Straight Bourbon as Batch 2016-04 (Bluegill Creek Batch) matured for 6 years, 5 months and 28 days in carefully selected oak barrels in the middle of the warehouses under the best possible conditions.
Bookers was introduced as a brand in 1988 and belongs to Beam Suntory. The bottling in the Small Batch Collection is reminiscent of Booker Noe, a grandson of James Jim Beam. The whiskey is bottled straight from the barrel, unfiltered and uncut.
Whiskey production in the United States is dominated by about a dozen large distilleries, so that almost all whiskey sold comes from a single distillery, and blended whiskey is almost non-existent as a mixture of the whiskey of several distilleries.
The terms single barrel for whiskey from a single cask and small batch for whiskey from a relatively small number of casks have become established as distinguishing features.
