Booker’s 2023-02 “Apprentice Batch” Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL) is the second limited release of 2023 in the celebrated Booker’s Bourbon series, honoring Booker Noe’s early days learning the craft of distillation under his cousin Carl Beam at the Jim Beam distillery. Aged for 7 years, 1 month, and 2 days, and bottled uncut and unfiltered at a bold 125.5 proof (62.75% ABV), this batch reflects the rugged authenticity and raw character of Booker’s beginnings as an “apprentice” in Kentucky bourbon-making.

Available now at Whiskey Caviar, “Apprentice Batch” is a tribute to tradition, grit, and the uncompromising quality that defines Booker’s.
