Bottling Notes

We’re delighted to introduce into our portfolio the Booker’s Limited-Edition Batch Collection from 2015 that are in stock and exclusively available here at The Old Barrelhouse. These bottlings have become extremely rare as collectors and connoisseurs snap them up before they’re even made available in liquor stores so here’s your chance to own a piece of highly collectable Kentucky history.

The ‘Oven Buster Batch’ is the fourth release from Booker’s 2015 Limited-Edition collection and is named after a story that could be complete marketing hyperbole – but we love it all the same. ?

From the press release:
“I’ve always been fond of cooking with bourbon,” said Annis Wickham Noe, wife of Booker and mother of Fred. “Years ago, as I was preparing a pork roast, I mistakenly reached for a bottle of my husband’s namesake bourbon to pour over the roast. The oven sparked from the bourbon’s high proof and the door flew open — that’s how the Oven Buster nickname was born!”

Booker Noe’s son Fred Noe is the current Master Distiller of Jim Beam and the great grandson of Jim Beam himself and this is the second batch in the 2015 series that Fred Noe selected with the help of the legendary Booker’s Bourbon Roundtable, a collection of esteemed bourbon experts, enthusiasts and writers. An image of the infamous oven is displayed on the front label and it’s also the youngest release in the 2015 collection having been aged for just over 6 years and 5 months at a bold 63.5%alc.
