Booker's 25th Anniversary Kentucky Straight Bourbon — Batch 2014-01, 130.8 Proof

Booker's is bottled at the strength it leaves the barrel. For Batch 2014-01, Fred Noe and Freddie Noe drew barrels laid down in January 2003 from the center of Booker Noe's favorite rackhouse and gave them more time than any earlier batch had had; the bourbon was bottled uncut and unfiltered after 10 years and 3 months, at 130.8 proof.
