Booker's 25th Anniversary Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is an exceptionally rare Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey released in 2014 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Booker Noe’s legendary namesake bourbon. Produced by the James B. Beam Distilling Co., this commemorative release was created from barrels laid down in January 2003 and aged for 10 years, 3 months. The barrels were selected from the center cut of Warehouse D, a location closely associated with Booker Noe and the development of Booker’s Bourbon. Bottled uncut and unfiltered at 130.8 proof (65.4% ABV), the 25th Anniversary Edition combines significant age, barrel-proof intensity, and an important place in Booker’s history.

The extended maturation creates a deep and powerful version of the classic Booker’s profile. Aromas of dark caramel, vanilla, roasted peanuts, brown sugar, leather, and charred oak lead into a full-bodied palate of toffee, vanilla bean, dark fruit, cinnamon, cocoa, toasted nuts, and mature wood. At 130.8 proof, the bourbon delivers substantial richness and warmth before developing into a long and complex finish filled with caramelized sugar, vanilla, roasted nuts, baking spice, and seasoned Kentucky oak.
