Booker’s 2026-01 ‘Big Easy’ Batch

Booker's Batch 2026-01 “Big Easy” is a limited-release Kentucky straight bourbon from Booker’s Bourbon, inspired by New Orleans, Louisiana, one of Booker Noe’s favorite cities. Released in 2026, the batch pays tribute to the food, culture and flavors that drew him back time and again.

The bourbon was aged 7 years, 2 months and 15 days and bottled at 129.1 proof. It is blended from barrels stored across five warehouses: 16% from the third floor of warehouse H, a nine-story house; 24% from the sixth floor of warehouse G, a nine-story house; 16% from the fifth floor of warehouse O, a seven-story house; 22% from the third floor of warehouse J, a nine-story house; and 22% from the fourth floor of warehouse M, a seven-story house. The varied storage contributes to its depth and structure.

According to the brand, it opens with aromas of vanilla and spice, followed by a warm, robust palate and a long, lingering finish. Bottled uncut and unfiltered, it reflects the bold, full-bodied style Booker’s is known for. It has a suggested retail price of $99.99 and is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up the flavors.
