Booker's Bourbon By The Pond Batch Blue Label

Booker’s Bourbon “By the Pond Batch” (2025-02) is a straight bourbon whiskey that exemplifies the bold, unfiltered character the brand is known for. Produced by Beam Suntory at the Jim Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky, this batch is part of the Booker’s series, which celebrates the legacy of Booker Noe, a sixth-generation master distiller and pioneer of small-batch bourbons. Each release in the series is uncut and unfiltered, offering bourbon enthusiasts a pure, barrel-proof experience. Aged for 7 years, 1 month, and 20 days, “By the Pond Batch” is bottled at a robust 126.5 proof. The bourbon is crafted from a mashbill of 77% corn, 13% rye, and 10% malted barley, and it incorporates barrels aged in eight different warehouses. This selection process ensures a complex and well-rounded profile, with each barrel contributing unique characteristics to the final blend. The batch is named in honor of the time Fred Noe, Booker Noe’s son, spent with his father by their backyard pond, reflecting the personal and familial connection behind the brand. Priced around $100, this release appeals to bourbon enthusiasts who appreciate high-proof, small-batch offerings with a rich heritage.
