Booker's Bourbon Batch 2019-04, known as "Beaten Biscuits Batch," is the fourth and final batch of the 2019 Booker's Small Batch Bourbon Collection, named in tribute to the beaten biscuits that Booker Noe's mother would make at the family home in Lebanon, Kentucky. Beaten biscuits are a traditional Southern delicacy of unique labor intensity, made by literally beating the dough with a mallet until it becomes smooth and silky, a process that requires patience and dedication — values that mirror exactly the approach Booker brought to his bourbon. The batch was selected by Fred Noe and represents the characteristic uncut and unfiltered Jim Beam barrel-proof bourbon that has made the Booker's named series one of the most followed collector programs in American whiskey. Bottled at 63.05% ABV and presented in the classic dark wood Booker's box with glass panel, this is a back vintage batch now approximately five years out of active retail release, carrying the warmth of a Kentucky family tradition in every sip.
