Booker’s Rye is a singular titan in American whiskey history. Released in June 2016 as a one-off limited bottling, this was distilled from an experimental 70% rye mash bill—one of the final distillations personally overseen by Booker Noe before his passing in 2004. It remains the first and only rye whiskey ever released under the Booker's name.

Booker's Rye is a "unicorn" in the truest sense. Its secondary market value is driven by the absolute finality of its production—there is no "next batch." Condition is paramount for this bottle; the integrity of the emerald green wax seal and the original wooden presentation case significantly dictate value. Every bottle offered here is verified for pristine seal condition and includes all original presentation packaging. It is a mandatory cornerstone for any collection focused on historic American grain experiments.

This is a contemplative masterpiece best appreciated neat at room temperature in a Glencairn glass. At 136.2 proof, a few drops of water are highly recommended to reveal the creamy mid-palate nuances of mascarpone and sea salt. Due to its finite nature, cocktail use is strictly discouraged.
