Booker's 2019-01 'Teresa'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 2019. Named “Teresa’s Batch,” this release honors Teresa Wittemer, a longtime Beam employee who was personally hired by Booker Noe and spent decades working in the distillery’s lab and Quality Control department. She became an expert at mingling barrel samples to achieve the flavor profile Booker wanted for his namesake bourbon and later continued helping Fred Noe with Booker’s selections. Aged 6 years, 3 months, and 1 day, Teresa’s Batch is bottled uncut and unfiltered at 125.9 proof (62.95% ABV).

Booker’s Teresa’s Batch showcases the powerful yet sweet character associated with the series. The nose brings brown sugar, vanilla, caramel, and light oak, while the palate develops layers of roasted nuts, caramel, vanilla, baking spice, and seasoned oak. Its barrel-strength intensity carries into a long, warm finish that balances sweetness with spice, roasted nuts, and lingering oak.
