Having the highest alcohol by volume alcohol content of the brands in the Jim Beam Small batch Small Batch Bourbon Collection , it is a cask strength bourbon. It was personally selected from barrels by Jim Beam s grandson, the late distiller emeritus Booker Noe . Noe originally bottled this straight from the barrel bourbon as gifts to close friends and family, but eventually made it available to the general public, starting in 1992. Each barrel of Booker s bourbon was hand selected by Noe and was aged at the center of the rackhouse, where the company says that the temperature and humidity are the most favorable for fine bourbons. Booker s bourbon is aged between six and eight years and is bottled un cut and without chill filtering at its natural proof between 121 and 130. While it is not necessary to cut the bourbon with water, a splash or two of distilled water is recommended by Booker Noe to unlock some of the flavor.
