Booker’s The Reserves 2026 is an exceptional limited-edition Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey and only the second rye release in Booker’s history. Crafted by eighth-generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe, this special expression honors his grandfather Booker Noe’s traditional apple wine recipe. Aged 6 years, 2 months, and 23 days, the whiskey is finished in apple brandy barrels and infused with real cinnamon, then bottled uncut and unfiltered at 125.1 proof.

The nose reveals bright apple, seasoned oak, and warm spice, leading to a rich palate of barrel char, vanilla, caramel, and rye spice. A long, warming finish delivers notes of freshly baked apple pie, cinnamon, and lingering oak. Bold, distinctive, and highly limited, this release offers a unique expression of Booker’s legendary barrel-strength whiskey.
