Crafted through generations under the guidance of seventh and eighth generation Master Distillers Fred and Freddie Noe, Jim Beam Black continues the 229-year family tradition of distilling exceptional bourbon that is both accessible and remarkable. The first Booker’s batch of 2024 is called the Springfield Batch to honor my dad’s hometown of Springfield, Kentucky. This rural town in central Kentucky is where Booker Noe, my dad was born and raised. He worked on many farms when he was growing up, from the hay fields to tobacco patches. The batch is made up of 5 production dates stored in 4 different aging warehouses. The age is 7 years, 7 Months, 8 days and is 124.5 proof. Kentucky Senator Bourbon recently announced the release of its fifth small batch of Kentucky straight Bourbon whiskey, titled after the illustrious Kentucky Senator John Brown, known for his pivotal role in bringing about Kentucky’s statehood. This fifth batch is available this summer and completes the run of barrels that began with the six-year William DeBoe release, followed by the John Carlisle release (aged seven years) and John Sherman Cooper release (aged eight years). Aged for nine years, this Bourbon boasts a robust 107 proof with a mash bill comprising 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley. Lux Row Distillers announced the introduction of Rebel 10-Year Single Barrel Bourbon, meticulously aged and hand bottled independently at 100 proof (50% ABV) for a unique flavor profile specific to each batch. The annual release will be available in a limited allocation later this month at a suggested retail price of $99.99 per 750mL bottle.
