Booker's Batch 2016-05 'Off The Rocker' Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Booker's Batch 2016-05 'Off The Rocker' — the fifth and final named batch of 2016, closing out the first year of the Booker's naming system. Kentucky straight bourbon, uncut and unfiltered at natural barrel proof from center-cut rickhouse barrels aged 6–8 years. Comes in the signature Booker's wooden presentation box.

As the fifth batch of the inaugural naming year (2016), 'Off The Rocker' caps the year that transformed Booker's from a numbered batch program into a storytelling one. It completes the five-batch 2016 set alongside Bluegrass (01), Anni's Answer (02), Tommy's Batch (03), and Bluegill Creek (04).

Tasting Notes

Nose: Warm caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and baking spice. Palate: Full and concentrated at cask strength — toffee, charred barrel, rye pepper, dark fruit. Finish: Long and warming with persistent barrel spice.
