ABOUT BOOKER’S® “JIMMY’s BATCH”

The fourth launch of the Booker’s® Bourbon 2024 Assortment is Booker’s Batch 2024-04 “Jimmy’s Batch.” This batch is called in honor of Grasp Distiller Jimmy Russell, dwelling legend for bourbon lovers in every single place, and considered one of my dad’s dearest friends, rivals, and most significantly buddies. Jimmy was like a second father to me after dad handed away, and I’ve discovered a hell of rather a lot from him through the years. There are a lot of life classes to thank him for, however listed below are a number of that stand out to me.

As soon as at a bourbon competition, Jimmy got here as much as Dad and me and poured out three glasses of a whiskey he needed us to style. It was some actual good stuff, and when Dad requested what it was, Jimmy stated it was one thing new he was engaged on, one thing particular. I believed it was fairly cool to convey a brand new product to a competitor and ask what they assume. It confirmed me the significance of belief and camaraderie, and simply how a lot these outdated timers revered one another.

The opposite massive factor Jimmy taught me was to deal with everyone like I needed to be handled. After we went to occasions at bars or liquor shops, he at all times stayed late to verify everybody received their image taken and their bottle signed. It’s simple to take without any consideration that we get to do what we do due to the those that stand in line for our whiskey, however Jimmy by no means did.

Identical to Dad, there are few issues Jimmy loves greater than a rattling good bottle of bourbon. So, cheers to him and the mentorship he’s given me by way of thick and skinny all these years. I hope you get to share a glass with firm nearly as good and true as Jimmy.
