Booker’s 2020-02 “Boston Batch” Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (750 mL) is the second release of Booker’s in 2020, named after the Boston, Kentucky facility where Booker Noe began his bourbon-making career. This small batch celebrates Booker’s legacy of hands-on distilling and the location that shaped his signature full-flavored style.
