Each year, Booker’s release a series of bottlings that celebrate the life of founder and former master distiller Booker Noe. The latest of these, “Kentucky Chew”, is the third Booker’s release for 2018. It’s named for Booker Noe’s signature way of tasting bourbon. The mouth can pick up different flavours in various places and this was his way of trying to pick out every last bit of flavour a bourbon had to offer.
This batch was selected by Fred Noe (Booker’s son) and his usual roundtable of writers and reviewers who also employed the ‘Kentucky Chew’ method when tasting the bourbon. The barrels from two production dates were pulled from seven different locations within four different warehouses after been aged for 6 years, 4 months and 12 days.
