The second release in The Reserves series honors Booker Noe’s spirit of craftsmanship, family tradition, and bold whiskey character. A true celebration of collaboration across borders, this bourbon begins as a classic Booker’s—robust, uncut, and unfiltered—aged eight years in the heart of Kentucky. The story deepens when the original Booker’s 30th Anniversary barrels were sent to Jalisco, where El Tesoro used them to mature their 85th Anniversary tequila. Once those barrels returned to Clermont, they carried layers of agave richness, spice, and oak history. This Booker’s batch finished in those same tequila-seasoned barrels, creating a whiskey with remarkable depth, cultural connection, and a flavor journey that travels from Kentucky to Mexico and back again. Bottled at a powerful 61.65% ABV, it’s a rare fusion of heritage, intensity, and innovation—exactly the kind of whiskey Booker would raise a glass to.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Booker's with a detour: the familiar uncut, unfiltered bourbon, aged eight years in Kentucky, then finished in barrels with a genuine round-trip story. The original Booker's 30th Anniversary barrels went to Jalisco, where El Tesoro matured its 85th Anniversary tequila in them. They came back to Clermont carrying agave and spice for this second release in The Reserves series. In the glass, deep caramel, vanilla and toasted oak lead, with a thread of agave, honeyed earth and citrus zest weaving through. The palate stays full-bodied and bold, with dark toffee, cinnamon, nutmeg and roasted nuts, while the tequila influence adds a bright, herbal lift without taming the punch. At 123.3 proof it rewards patience and a few drops of water. It suits the Booker's fan or bourbon collector curious about finished whiskey more than a first-time bourbon drinker. We carry it because the cask story actually shows up in the flavor, not just on the label.
Pairs well with
- Grilled steak or barbecued brisket — The charred oak, smoky depth and peppery finish stand up to rich, smoky meat.
- Dark chocolate with chili — The caramelized sweetness and baking spice echo the chocolate, while the black pepper heat meets the chili.
- Slow evening tasting with friends — The layers of agave nuance and oak richness evolve in the glass and reward unhurried sipping and conversation.
Questions about this bottle
How is this different from a regular Booker's?
How is this different from a regular Booker's?
It starts as classic Booker's, uncut, unfiltered and aged eight years in Kentucky. It is then finished in tequila-seasoned barrels: the original Booker's 30th Anniversary barrels, which El Tesoro used in Jalisco to mature its 85th Anniversary tequila before they returned to Clermont.
How strong is it?
How strong is it?
It is bottled at cask strength, 61.65% ABV (123.3 proof). A few drops of water soften the proof while amplifying agave sweetness, vanilla and spice, and they bring out a silkier texture.
Does it taste like tequila?
Does it taste like tequila?
The bourbon core leads with caramel, vanilla, dark toffee and charred oak. The agave shows up as a subtle ribbon on the nose, as gentle sweetness and herbal brightness mid-palate, and as a lingering note on the long, peppery finish.
Is it a good gift for a bourbon collector?
Is it a good gift for a bourbon collector?
