The palate is searingly hot, but underneath that heat there’s a lot to love, including dark chocolate, barrel char, black coffee, and more dark dried fruit. … making this a big bourbon befitting the Big Easy.

Product Description
The Whiskey in this package is the highest graded bourbon created by me here at Jim Beam. It is bottled uncut and unfiltered. My grandfather, Jim Beam, liked his whiskey from six to eight years old. Batch Story: The third release of the Booker's Bourbon 2022 Collection is Booker's Batch 2022-03 "Kentucky Tea Batch." While some may flavor their water with tea leaves, my dad, Booker Noe, loved to flavor his water with bourbon -- something he called Kentucky Tea. As you can imagine, Dad loved the flavor of bourbon, especially his Booker's Bourbon. Since Booker's is over 100 proof, the flavor still pulls through when added to water. So he'd take one part bourbon and four parts water and enjoy his drink. One night, when a reporter was at Dad's house for supper, he asked why Dad drank Kentucky Tea. Dad quickly replied, "Why would I flavor my water with tea leaves when I can flavor my water with Bourbon?" It was that simple -- Kentucky Tea was Dad's drink. He would drink it with a country ham or fish dinner and would say you need to sip the right proportion of Kentucky Tea to really appreciate the food. As you sip this batch, add a taste of it to your water so you can try Dad's Kentucky Tea with "Kentucky Tea Batch." I know that's how he would've liked it. Cheers! - Fred Noe, Beam Family 7th Generation Master Distiller. Master Distiller Notes: The batch is made up of six production dates that were aged in six different warehouses. The breakdown of barrel storage for Booker's "Kentucky Tea Batch" is as follows: • 2% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 5 • 1% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X • 1% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse D • 12% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 1 • 24% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q • 14% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse Q • 46% came from the 6th floor of 7-story warehouse Z This batch was pulled on a hot and humid day in July. The color of this liquid is golden amber, and you embrace the dark, sweet vanilla aroma right away. With just one taste, your mouth is filled with rich and sweet flavors of vanilla. The lingering finish isn't overpowering, so soon after you'll want another sip. I made myself a Kentucky Tea with Kentucky Tea Batch , and it brought back memories of my dad sitting at his own kitchen table enjoying his Kentucky Tea with supper.

Critic reviews of other releases
The nose is rich with butterscotch, vanilla, orange, and Creamsicle, with a dusty, earthy backbone adding depth. The palate starts similarly sweet, with frosting, maple syrup, and dark chocolate. … This has real depth and, despite the proof, ample finesse.
Somewhat closed at first on the nose, but the palate is very lively, with vanilla cream, caramel, baked raspberries, cola, and toffee … It’s a hot one for sure, but the flavors still manage to assert themselves.
