Booker's Batch C87-D-21 Bourbon Whiskey 125.3 Proof

125.3 proof. Uncut. Unfiltered. Booker's Batch C87-D-21 — from the pre-named-batch era of the Booker's program, when releases carried alphanumeric batch codes rather than the named themed releases (like "Big Man" and "Off Your Rocker") that began around 2016.

Booker Noe invented the commercial cask-strength unfiltered small batch bourbon category in 1988 — Booker's was the first widely available American bourbon bottled at natural cask strength without dilution or chill filtration. Batch C87-D-21 is from the era before the named batch program transformed the release format, making it a document of the program's original, purer documentation style. Now years removed from primary release.
