More Booker’s Bourbon Bottle Art
Booker’s Bourbon Batch Tags
In 2015 Jim Beam added a cool new feature to the Booker’s bottle. First, they simplified the batch numbers by making it simply the year and batch number (2015-01). Second, each batch would have a symbol which represented the Booker brand. Everything from Booker’s dog to his rocking chair. I like this idea and was excited to see the new batches on the shelf. It’s not a limited or special release but Booker’s is so consistently good I don’t think it matters.
Today, Beam received approval from the TTB for more “batch tags” extending through the year 2018. I’m still a little confused why some numbers in the sequence are missing or what the batches starting with “0000-” represent but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough.

I have a bottle of Bookers I have had for a long time, never opened it. Batch number is B95-C-31. Do you know what year that is from? I think it is from 95, but not sure.
That’s correct. It’s from the barrel dump at the Boston plant on March 31, 1995. What’s the age? I believe there were 2 different ages in this dump. I’m always looking for older Booker’s any interest in a trade?
