B<\/span>ourbon Heritage Month is off to a good start, as Booker\u2019s Bourbon has just introduced its first new whiskey innovation since 2019. Booker\u2019s Bourbon \u2018The Reserves\u2019 is the first of what\u2019s to become an annual, limited-release series by master distiller Freddie Noe. It\u2019s meant to commemorate Freddie\u2019s grandfather, sixth-generation master distiller Booker Noe, and his contributions to the bourbon world. And the full-flavored American whiskey is inspired by how Freddie believes his grandfather would be making whiskey today.<\/p>\n Booker\u2019s Bourbon \u2018The Reserves\u2019 is an 8-to-14-year-old blend. Like all Booker\u2019s releases, it\u2019s uncut and unfiltered, and the liquid comes from the center of the rackhouse, where the temperature and humidity create the most intense flavors. But unlike other Booker\u2019s bourbons<\/a>, it\u2019s released in smaller quantities than typical batches and uses fewer and older barrels to achieve a unique flavor profile. The 2024 edition spans eight production dates and eight different warehouses, so Noe and his team employed a lot of their available resources to make this expression happen.<\/p>\n \u201cLiquid like this can take a while to find, but when I do, it feels like the Big Man himself picked them out,\u201d says Freddie Noe. \u201cIt\u2019s just the kind of Bourbon I believe my grandaddy would be making if he were still alive with us now.\u201d<\/p>\n Booker\u2019s Bourbon \u2018The Reserves\u2019 2024 is available in limited quantities nationwide. It\u2019s 125.9 proof and carries a suggested price of $129. Until you get your hands on a bottle, here are some tasting notes from the brand.<\/p>\n Nose: <\/strong>Notes of dried fruit and nuanced brown sugar sweetness.<\/p>\n Taste: <\/strong>Complex rich vanilla with hints of charred oak.<\/p>\n Finish: <\/strong>Full-bodied with long and lingering notes of baking spice.<\/p>\nBooker\u2019s Bourbon 2024 The Reserves Tasting Notes<\/h2>\n
