Booker’s Batch 2026-02 "Milkshake Batch" is the second highly anticipated release in the Booker's Bourbon 2026 Small Batch Collection. Released in June 2026 by Suntory Global Spirits and distilled at the legendary Jim Beam Distillery, this uncut and unfiltered Kentucky Straight Bourbon is bottled at a robust 124.4 proof (62.2% ABV). It carries a suggested retail price (SRP) of $100.
The expression is a carefully selected blend of barrels from four separate production dates matured across four different seven-story rickhouses (32% from Warehouse G at Waterfall, 26% from Warehouse 3, 23% from Warehouse L, and 19% from Warehouse M).
The Story Behind the Name
The batch honors a nostalgic Noe family tradition started by the late 6th-generation Master Distiller, Booker Noe. After afternoon fishing trips with his son Fred, they would stop for chocolate malted milkshakes. One day, Booker decided to spike his milkshake with bourbon, sparking a family ritual that 7th and 8th-generation distillers Fred and Freddie Noe still carry on today.

Tasting Profile
While reviewers note that it benefits immensely from 15–20 minutes of resting to fully open up, it offers a distinctly sweet and dessert-forward profile:
- Nose: Rich vanilla, aged oak, and cherries, balanced by a unique "bready" or malted profile reminiscent of chocolate malt or Ovaltine.
- Palate: Bold, viscous, and full-bodied. It layers deep caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon apple, and baking spice over the iconic, classic Jim Beam nuttiness.
- Finish: Long and warming with dark cocoa, flat vanilla custard, and lingering char oak.
