Booker's Bourbon Jimmy's Batch brown label

Booker’s Bourbon “Jimmy’s Batch” is a limited-edition release from Jim Beam Distillery, part of the Beam Suntory portfolio. Distilled in Clermont, Kentucky, this straight bourbon is part of the Booker’s series, known for its uncut, unfiltered, and cask-strength offerings. Released in December 2024, “Jimmy’s Batch” is bottled at a robust 125.8 proof and aged for 7 years, 9 months, and 19 days, showcasing the brand’s commitment to extended aging and bold expressions. What makes “Jimmy’s Batch” unique is its ability to stand out within the Booker’s lineup. While Booker’s releases often share a family resemblance, this batch introduces nuanced adjustments that set it apart. The mash bill—77% corn, 13% rye, and 10% malted barley—provides a solid foundation, while the extended aging process allows the bourbon to develop a layered complexity. Each barrel is carefully selected from specific locations in the rickhouse to achieve the desired profile, reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship behind every batch. Priced around $100, “Jimmy’s Batch” appeals to bourbon enthusiasts who appreciate high-proof, small-batch releases with a story.
