Booker's Batch 2015-05 Maw Maw's Small Batch Cask Strength Bourbon Whiskey

Booker's Batch 2015-05 'Maw Maw's Batch' — the fifth batch of 2015, named for Booker Noe's grandmother, honoring the family matriarch whose home was a gathering place for the Noe family's early bourbon culture. Kentucky straight bourbon, uncut and unfiltered at natural barrel proof. Comes in the signature wooden presentation box.

'Maw Maw' is Booker Noe's term for his grandmother — a deeply personal naming in the Booker's tradition. The fifth batch of 2015 closes out the year with a tribute to the Noe family's female ancestor, part of a naming tradition that weaves the Noe family's personal history into each batch. The Maw Maw name is one of the most warmly remembered in the pre-2016 batch naming era.

Tasting Notes

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Maw Maw in Booker Noe's history?

Maw Maw is Booker Noe's grandmother — a central figure in the Noe family's personal narrative and the matriarch whose home was part of the family's bourbon heritage. Naming a batch after her follows the same personal-tribute tradition as Anni's Answer (daughter-in-law) and the family and friend honorees in the 2016 naming system that followed.
