Booker's Bourbon Batch 2019-03, known as "Pinewood Batch," is the third release in the 2019 Booker's Small Batch Bourbon Collection, named in honor of the Pinewood cabin at the Beam family property where Booker Noe would retreat with close friends and family to fish, relax, and share whiskey. The cabin was a cherished gathering place that embodied Booker's belief that the best bourbon moments are shared ones, and the name carries that spirit of warmth and fellowship directly. Selected by Fred Noe and bottled at 62.45% ABV and 124.9 proof, Pinewood Batch is one of the lower-proof releases in the 2019 collection, delivering a slightly more approachable entry point to the Booker's barrel-proof experience while retaining the full uncut and unfiltered character that defines the series. Presented in the classic Booker's dark wood box with glass panel. Now approximately five years out of active retail circulation, this is an established back vintage named batch for Booker's collectors.

Tasting Notes
Color: Deep rich amber with warm copper tones — natural barrel color, unfiltered
Nose: Warm and inviting at barrel proof, with caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baking spice, and a gentle sweetness that reflects the cabin-and-fireside spirit of the Pinewood name.
Palate: Rich and smooth for a barrel-proof expression at 124.9 proof, with dark toffee, vanilla, oak spice, dried fruit, and a warm well-integrated heat. Slightly more approachable than the higher-proof 2019-04 but no less complex.
Finish: Long and warming, with vanilla, oak, and a gentle sweetness that lingers like an evening at a Kentucky fishing cabin.
FAQ
What is the story behind the Pinewood Batch name?
Pinewood Batch is named for a cabin on the Beam family property where Booker Noe loved to retreat with close friends and family. It was a place for fishing, relaxing, and sharing good bourbon — capturing the spirit of camaraderie and simple Kentucky pleasures that Booker believed bourbon should inspire. Naming a batch for the Pinewood cabin is one of the most personal and place-specific tributes in the series.
How does Pinewood Batch compare to Beaten Biscuits Batch 2019-04?
Both are from the 2019 Booker's collection. Pinewood Batch at 124.9 proof is slightly lower in proof than Beaten Biscuits at 126.1 proof, making it marginally more approachable while sharing the same uncut, unfiltered barrel-proof character. Both are back vintages and now in store together for 2019 era collectors.
