How to Enjoy

Booker’s Bourbon Batch 2026-01 “Big Easy Batch” is best enjoyed neat in a whiskey tasting glass. At 129.1 proof, it benefits from time in the glass, so let it rest for several minutes before sipping. This helps the vanilla, spice, fruit, chocolate, oak, and roasted nut notes open more clearly.

A few drops of water can help soften the proof and bring out more sweetness, fruit, and spice.
