Booker’s 2019-01 ‘Teresa’s Batch’ Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

“I’m happy to release the first batch in the Booker’s Bourbon 2019 Collection, called Booker’s Batch 2019-01, “Teresa’s Batch.” My dad, Booker Noe, always trusted his gut when it came to good bourbon – and good people. “Teresa’s Batch” is an ode to Teresa Wittemer, a distillery employee Dad hired on the spot after a quick 15-minute interview more than 30 years ago. She has been a part of the Beam distillery family ever since, working directly on Booker’s Bourbon to help me ensure every release is up to Dad’s standards and nothing short of the damn good bourbon people know and love.Getting the tasting notes for this batch from Teresa herself was important to me. She works with our bourbon daily, and I wanted to get her description of the batch of Booker’s Bourbon that bears her name. I have to say, she did a terrific job describing the characteristics of this batch: “The nose is sweet with some hints of brown sugar and light oak, along with the vanilla that is characteristic of Booker’s Bourbon. The taste is unique, yet still unmistakably Booker’s Bourbon with a pleasant and warm finish, both sweet and spicy.”~ Fred Noe, Beam Family’s 7th Generation Master Distiller
