Bourbon

Batch 1 was a limited release bourbon, distilled in 2009, bottled in 2017, made by MGP, and bottled by dumping together full-proof single casks. The operation took all 20 casks of the high-rye bourbon produced in this particular batch–3,358 bottles. The entire run is sold out and no longer available in retail stores.

Crafted for backyard soirees, casual moments at home, and everything in between. The Penelope Black Walnut Old Fashioned is made with straight bourbon and rye whiskey, black walnut bitters, and vanilla demerara.

• T8ke's Tasting Notes: 
  • Nose: Loaded with apple butter, brioche and sweet toffee, this release is inviting, balanced between sweet and fruit with lovely oak, brown sugar, a hint of cinnamon, white grape and baked pears, apples and oak. 
  • Taste: Fat and silky on the palate: viscous with this velvet-y, pillow-y sort of chew richness between the oak, the proof, the lovely viscosity of the ice wine. Ice wine delivers a balance of sweetness and acidity with white grape, apple butter, fresh baked brioche and honey with a creamy vanilla, nougat, sweet oak, and a crisp candied ginger and pepper on the back palate. The French oak plays so wonderfully here with nuanced addition of spice without going full mocha or the odd woodiness it can sometimes bring. 
  • Finish: Finish is long and opulent, packed with sweet baking spices, decadent dessert and more maple, toffee, butterscotch as well as pleasant oak, bold tannin, a hint of drying spice and cinnamon to pair with the gorgeous wine character.
  • Overall: Divine dessert you can't miss. 

Discover the unexpected with Balvenie 14 Year Old American Bourbon Barrel Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The subtle influences of candied orange peel, woody earthiness, and deep vanilla oakiness create a harmonious balance, making this a complex and inviting whisky perfect for those who appreciate the unexpected in their drams. Indulge in the rich flavor profile and be inspired by this exquisite whisky.

One of three new single barrels, this bottle's rich red fruits bring a vibrant sweetness, while delicate oak and smooth vanilla add depth.

15 STARS First West Rye celebrates the history of distilling excellence in America’s First West. In 1795, the 15 star flag recognized Kentucky as the 15th US state and the first state West of the Appalachians. At the time, Kentucky was surrounded by two US territories, making up the region commonly known as America’s First West. The three straight rye whiskeys used to create this blend were aged 8, 7, and 6 years and distilled in KY, IN, and TN as a tribute to the First West.

105 Proof (ABV 52.5%)

Nose: Sweet fruit aromas of ripe pear, golden raisin, orange peel, and honey emerge boldly, balanced by a spice blend including cinnamon and nutmeg.

Palate: The candied fruit notes from the nose remain and are joined by herbal spice and almond to form a round and full palate.

Finish: The sip comes to an end with pleasant flavors of kumquat, almond, and lasting toasted oak

The first release of the Booker’s® Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-01 “Charlie’s Batch.” This batch is named in honor of Charlie Hutchens, the craftsman behind the signature wooden boxes that each bottle of Booker’s Bourbon comes in. He is also a longtime family friend and former employee of my dad, Booker Noe.

Charlie started his career working at the Booker Noe Distillery. He was quite the storyteller and would entertain others with his tall tales throughout the workday. He was also one to pay close attention to the details, doing something over and over again until it was perfect – just like Dad was with his whiskey. It’s not hard to see why they got on so well.

After several years, Charlie left the business to open his own cabinet shop with his brother. Charlie handcrafted the very first Booker’s Bourbon wooden boxes in his garage, and he’s created every box for us since. He and his brother have expanded their business to create other fine wood products for different brands and projects in the Beam family, including supplying custom furniture to the new Fred B. Noe Distillery – where Booker’s Bourbon is now distilled.

Charlie still lives near our Booker Noe Distillery and enjoys fishing and vacationing with his family in South Carolina. One of these days, my son Freddie and I hope to get out there to fish with him. Our whole family is so grateful for Charlie as he was one of the first people to help us make Booker’s Bourbon a recognizable brand. Charlie is a very worthy recipient of his own batch, and we are excited to honor him.

--- Fred Noe, Beam Family 7th Generation Master Distiller
