The first US release of Booker’s 2025 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2025-01 “Barry’s Batch”. This batch is named in honor of Barry Berish, former Beam Chairman and CEO, and a dear friend to Dad and me. He was a legend at Beam, guiding us for over 40 years. Sadly, Barry passed early in 2024, and we miss him plenty. So, with this release, we celebrate who Barry was, and share just a few of the reasons everyone loved him so much.
MASTER DISTILLER NOTES
The color of “Barry’s Batch” is a bright golden amber, inviting you to lean in and take in the wonderful aroma. The nose is warm and welcoming, with hints of vanilla and a touch of sweetness from the more than 7 years it spent aging in new white oak barrels. When I took a sip of this batch, the cozy flavor that filled my mouth reminded me of a chilly January morning, perfect for enjoying a good bourbon. The balanced finish was smooth and left me wanting more – it’s just that good! I know Dad would have loved to celebrate his longtime friend and colleague with this bourbon named after him. I really hope you enjoy Barry’s Batch as much as I enjoyed creating it!
