Booker's 2017-01 'Tommy's Batch' Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is a collectible Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey from the James B. Beam Distilling Co. and the first Booker’s batch released in 2017. Named “Tommy’s Batch,” this expression honors Tommy Crumpton, a longtime friend of Booker Noe who worked alongside him at the distillery and shared his passion for bourbon. Aged 6 years, 4 months, and 6 days, Tommy’s Batch was bottled uncut and unfiltered at 128.5 proof (64.25% ABV), delivering the powerful, full-bodied character that defines Booker’s. Its vintage batch designation, personal connection to Booker Noe, and discontinued status make it an appealing bottle for collectors of older Booker’s releases.

Booker’s Tommy’s Batch offers a bold combination of caramel, vanilla, roasted nuts, spice, and oak. Aromas of vanilla bean, caramel, brown sugar, toasted peanuts, and seasoned wood lead into a rich palate of toffee, dark fruit, cinnamon, vanilla, roasted nuts, and charred oak. The barrel-strength presentation adds substantial richness and warmth before developing into a long and robust finish with lingering caramelized sweetness, baking spice, vanilla, nuts, and oak.
