Booker’s Bourbon from Jim Beam has announced the first release in its 2024 lineup: Batch 2024-01, Springfield Batch.
Each release of this whiskey has a unique name that alludes to the people, places and/or history behind the brand. This batch gets its name from the small town in central Kentucky where Booker Noe was born and raised. Located 18 miles from Bardstown, Springfield is where a young Booker worked on farms while growing up, the company says, from hay fields to tobacco patches.
Springfield Batch is made up of five production dates stored in four different aging warehouses at the distillery:
• 17% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse G
• 7% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse H
• 31% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z
• 45% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 3
The age is 7 years, 7 Months and 8 days, bottled at 124.5 proof:
Booker’s Springfield Batch is now available nationwide in limited quantities with a suggested retail price of $89.99 for a 750-ml. bottle.
This follows the recent release of Little Book Chapter 7: In Retrospect blended whiskey.
