Booker’s 2022-03 “Kentucky Tea Batch” Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL) is the third release of 2022 in the celebrated Booker’s Small Batch Collection and pays homage to Booker Noe’s favorite way to enjoy bourbon: with water—what he called “Kentucky Tea.” Aged for 7 years, 4 months, and 14 days and bottled uncut and unfiltered at a potent 126.5 proof (63.25% ABV), this batch delivers classic Booker’s power with a slightly softer, more approachable balance that shines with or without dilution.
