Booker’s Batch #4 – Phantom Pipes Batch!

There’s a story behind every batch of Booker’s® Bourbon and the last batch of 2025, Batch #4, the Phantom Pipes Batch, is no exception.

This one begins not with a barrel, but with a mystery: a maze of pipes discovered in the rafters of the Boston distillery that led…nowhere. Turns out, those “phantom pipes” were remnants of Booker Noe’s restless tinkering – an engineer’s playground born of determination, creativity, and a dash of good old-fashioned stubborn genius.

As Fred Noe recalls, “Dad was always connecting one thing to another, chasing the next great idea with whatever he had on hand.” Those pipes became a symbol of Booker’s way, not always the easy way, but the right way to make great bourbon.

That spirit of invention lives on in this batch. It’s bottled uncut and unfiltered at 126.4 proof after more than seven years in the rackhouses. It’s big, bold, and unmistakably Booker’s with rich vanilla on the nose, a full-bodied spice on the palate, and a long, lingering finish that reminds you why patience (and a little persistence) always pays off.
