Booker’s The Reserves 2024

Booker’s Bourbon ‘The Reserves’ 2024 is the inaugural release of a new, highly limited annual expression from the iconic Booker’s lineup. Known for its uncut, unfiltered strength and intense flavor, Booker’s Bourbon has earned its place as a classic in the world of Kentucky bourbon. This exclusive blend, titled “The Reserves,” elevates the Booker’s experience by blending older barrels, with ages ranging from 8 to 14 years.

With its rarity and depth, Booker’s ‘The Reserves’ is set to become a sought-after addition for bourbon lovers.
