The name honors a beloved family tradition started by the late Booker Noe, the legendary sixth-generation master distiller of Jim Beam, who was known for mixing bourbon into homemade chocolate malted milkshakes, a ritual that became a centerpiece of family gatherings. Fred Noe, Beam's 7th-generation Master Distiller, shared the story behind the name himself: \"I am going to make a milkshake tonight and add some of this batch of Booker's.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHow Milkshake Batch Is Made\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis bourbon combines barrels from Warehouses 3, L, M, and G at Waterfill, aged 7 years, 6 months, and 12 days, then bottled uncut and unfiltered straight from the barrel at its natural batch strength of 124.4 proof (62.2% ABV). As with every Booker's release, nothing is added and nothing is taken away, the bourbon reaches the bottle exactly as it came out of the barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep amber, the result of time spent resting through Kentucky's changing seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich and inviting, with classic Booker's depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big and bold, with sweeter notes including cinnamon apple, unmistakably Booker's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A more traditional, warming conclusion true to the brand's house style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe cinnamon apple character in Milkshake Batch pairs well with a warm apple crisp, pecan pie, or vanilla ice cream, fitting given the batch's dessert-inspired name.
