OUR CURRENT BATCH

BARRY’S BATCH

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.

“FRED, MAKE SURE THEY DON’T MESS WITH MY BOOKER’S.”

- Booker's one request to his son at retirement. 

 

Booker was a sixth-generation master distiller who grew up at a distillery in the heart of Kentucky. He was born to bourbon. While others rejoiced to drink bourbon at age 21, Booker was thrilled to start making the stuff.
