Bookers Bourbon Mash Bill​

Description

Booker’s Bourbon shares the same mash bill as other bourbons in the Jim Beam Small Batch Collection (such as Basil Hayden’s, Knob Creek, and Baker’s). The mash bill is a classic high-corn, low-rye recipe, ideal for producing the rich, full-bodied flavor Booker’s is known for:

Booker’s Bourbon Mash Bill (Estimated):

• Corn: ~75%

• Rye: ~13%

• Malted Barley: ~12%

What This Means:

• High corn content gives Booker’s its signature sweetness and smooth mouthfeel.

• The moderate rye adds a gentle spiciness and depth, without overpowering the profile.

• Malted barley supports fermentation and contributes subtle nutty and roasted notes.

Flavor Profile (influenced by the mash bill + barrel strength aging):

• Rich caramel and vanilla

• Toasted oak and spice

• Hints of nuts, tobacco, and leather

• Long, warm finish due to uncut barrel proof (typically 120–130+ proof)

Because Booker’s is non-chill filtered, uncut, and aged 6–8 years, the mash bill works in harmony with the wood aging to produce a robust, full-bodied bourbon that’s beloved by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
