Booker's Noe 2026-01 The Big Easy Batch

Booker’s Bourbon has released its first batch of 2026, a high-proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey dubbed the “Big Easy” Batch, paying tribute to one of the late Booker Noe’s favorite cities: New Orleans. The limited release, Batch 2026-01, is aged 7 years, 2 months, and 15 days and bottled at 129.1 proof. The batch draws from five separate production dates stored across five different warehouses at varying floor levels. The liquid breakdown includes 24% from the sixth floor of a nine-story warehouse G, 22% each from warehouses J and M, and 16% each from warehouses H and O.

Official tasting notes from the brand describe aromas of vanilla and spice, a warm and robust palate, and a long, lingering finish. The brand recommends enjoying the bourbon neat or with a splash of water.
