Booker’s 2026-02 ‘The Milkshake’ Batch

Booker's Bourbon Batch 2026-02, "The Milkshake Batch," is the second release in the brand's 2026 collection. Named after one of Booker Noe's favorite treats, a chocolate malted milkshake enhanced with bourbon, the batch honors a Beam family tradition that began during fishing trips shared by Booker and his son, Fred Noe, and continues today with Fred and his son, Freddie.

The uncut and unfiltered Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey was aged 7 years, 6 months and 12 days before being bottled at 62.2% ABV, or 124.4 proof. According to the producer, the whiskey offers aromas of vanilla and oak, a bold, full-bodied palate and the long, lingering finish for which Booker's is known. The batch comprises barrels from four warehouses: 26% from the fifth floor of Warehouse 3, 23% from the third floor of Warehouse L, 19% from the third floor of Warehouse M and 32% from the fifth floor of Warehouse G.
