Booker’s Batch 2022-01 Ronnie Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Introducing the special batch dedicated to Ronnie Land, a stalwart of the Jim Beam Clermont and Boston, KY plants during the era of Master Distiller, Booker Noe. With a legacy spanning 40 years at Jim Beam, Ronnie's dedication and expertise are immortalized in this unique batch.

Ronnie Land's journey at Jim Beam is one of dedication and ascent. Starting from the grassroots, he climbed the ranks to become the Warehouse Manager. His intimate knowledge of the aging barrels' inventory and locations, especially Booker's preferred storage spots, made him an indispensable asset to the distillery.

This batch is a testament to Ronnie's keen understanding of the bourbon-making process. As the trusted individual to prepare samples for batch evaluation, he knew the intricacies of what Booker Noe sought in a sample. A memorable incident where Ronnie adjusted the sample size to Booker's preference set the standard for the sample sizes that are still used by the 7th Generation Master Distiller, Fred Noe, and his son, the 8th Generation Beam Family Distiller, Freddie Noe.

Ronnie's commitment to Jim Beam went beyond mere responsibilities. His intuitive understanding of Booker Noe's preferences, combined with his vast experience, made him a cornerstone of the bourbon-making process at Jim Beam. This batch, named in his honor, is a tribute to his unparalleled dedication and the deep trust placed in him by Booker Noe.
