Booker's 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is an exceptionally collectible Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey released in 2018 to celebrate 30 years since Booker Noe introduced his namesake bourbon. Produced by the James B. Beam Distilling Co., this special anniversary release combines 9-year-old bourbon with a smaller portion of 16-year-old bourbon, creating a more mature interpretation of the bold, uncut style that made Booker’s famous. Bottled uncut and unfiltered at 125.8 proof (62.9% ABV), the 30th Anniversary Edition was produced in limited quantities and presented in a distinctive commemorative wooden box, making it one of the most desirable special releases in Booker’s history.

Booker’s 30th Anniversary delivers an intense yet beautifully mature profile. Aromas of deep caramel, vanilla, roasted peanuts, brown sugar, leather, and seasoned oak lead into a full-bodied palate of toffee, dark fruit, vanilla bean, cinnamon, cocoa, toasted nuts, and charred oak. The older bourbon contributes additional depth and wood character while the barrel-strength presentation preserves the richness of the whiskey, leading into a long, powerful finish filled with caramel, vanilla, roasted nuts, spice, and mature Kentucky oak.
