Clermont, KY, April 2, 2025 – Introducing the newest Booker’s Batch to the James B. Beam Distilling Co. “Barry’s Batch”. This batch is named in honor of Barry Berish, former Beam Chairman and CEO, and a dear friend to Fred and Booker Noe. He was a legend at Beam, guiding us for over 40 years. Sadly, Barry passed early in 2024, and we miss him plenty. So, with this release, we celebrate who Barry was, and share just a few of the reasons everyone loved him so much.
Booker’s “Barry’s Batch” is made up of barrels from four production dates that were aged in 5 different warehouses. The age of the batch is 7 years, 2 months, and 4 days. The proof of the batch is 125.7 proof. The breakdown of barrel storage for the batch is as follows:
41% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 3
14% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 1
4% came from the 7th floor of 9-story warehouse H
32% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse X
9% came from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse G
