Booker’s The Reserves 2026 Batch is a bold, uncut, unfiltered Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey finished in apple brandy barrels and infused with cinnamon for a distinctive twist on traditional rye.

Crafted at the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in Clermont, Kentucky, this limited 2026 batch expression showcases Booker’s signature high-proof intensity combined with layered fruit and spice character. Aged 8 years, 10 months, and 11 days, this barrel-strength rye delivers robust depth, natural barrel influence, and full-bodied flavor straight from the center cut of the rackhouse.
