Booker's Bourbon (Batch C-I-27-82)

This is an early and rare example of Booker’s bourbon that predates the official launch of the Booker’s Small Batch label by Jim Beam in 1988. Before its commercial release, Master Distiller Booker Noe—grandson of Jim Beam—personally selected single barrel bourbons for family and friends, typically around the holidays. The bottle bears the lot number C-I-27-82, which is believed to indicate it was distilled at the Clermont distillery (C) on September 27 (I), 1982. Jim Beam’s second Kentucky distillery, now named after Booker Noe, is located on Boston Road.
