AWARD-WINNIN’ TEQUILA

We set out to make fine tequila for all life’s adventures. It starts on a family estate in the heart of tequila country. Add in a little agave and a lot of expertise and you get the smooth sippin’ taste of Dos Primos.

A premium Añejo born from patience and time. No secrets here — just fine tequila and solid oak. We set aside a little of our smooth sippin’ Blanco and rest it over a year in the finest bourbon barrels we can find. All that time in the barrel adds new and rich flavors that’ll make you want to slow down and savor every sip. Try it neat, on the rocks or however you like it.

AGING: A minimum of 13 months

COLOR: Warm amber

AROMA: Notes of decadent caramel, layered with sweet fruit and charred oak

PALATE: Notes of brown spices, dried fruit and caramel, leading to sweet agave finish

Our Blanco tequila is infused with magnesium, calcium, and potassium. It is a simple, clean, and unaged rendition of our favorite profile that was created to amuse a distinguished palate. It's simplicity allows the complexity of bright and crisp agave flavors to speak for themselves. This is your everyday tequila, so give it a shot.

Bottle Size: 750ml

This whisky embodies a delightful combination where luscious toffee and hazelnut come together, entwined by the gentle embrace of sweet peat smoke.

MATURED FOR QUARTER OF A CENTURY

A whisky to be savoured slowly, every delicious drop of this exquisitely balanced malt has been matured for a quarter of a century in North American bourbon and Spanish sherry casks. Exceptional even by Bowmore's standards, our highly acclaimed Bowmore 25 Year Old exhibits the finest qualities of each.

On The Eye: Mellow mahogany

Breathe In: Intense sherry and stewed fruits, with a trace of Bowmore smokiness

Sip: Delicious toffee and hazelnut, woven together with just a hint of sweet peat smoke

Savour: The mellow, gentle and incredibly complex finish

The Tullamore D.E.W 12YO Special Reserve is a carefully crafted blend of 12 to 15 year old whiskeys and it boasts a more spicier note due to increased Pot Still whiskey content in the blend.

Maker Notes

There’s a story to be told within the bottle: a light breeze of licorice root, earthy-warm mace, fruity citrus peels and a mysterious blue flower from the far east. Distilled in a pot still, filled into black, art-nouveau stylized vessels. Come closer and let yourself be enchanted.

TASTING NOTES

Complex character through fruity and floral, fresh aromas. A touch of mediterranean rosemary, lavender, chamomile, and coriander seeds, harmonised by nutmeg flower, liquorice and angelica roots. Finally, orange, lemon, grapefruit and cranberries lends the gin its fruity complexion. The butterfly pea flower provides a delicate-nutty flavor and 
our gin’s classic blue color. Together with tonic or any acidic based mixer our gin undergoes a color transformation, from its royal deep blue hue to a gentle pink.

TASTING NOTES

COLOR: Our darkest and deepest amber and henna color.

TASTE: Deep and complex flavors of vanilla, nuts and oak.

AROMA: Robust vanilla and caramel notes; slightly smoky.

FINISH: Long and full; perfect for easygoing sipping.

2022 - 04, “PINKIE’S BATCH"

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES

The color of this batch is a rich, golden amber that really shines when you hold it up to the light and admire the glass you’ve poured. The aroma is balanced with brown spice and vanilla notes, which gives you a preview of the taste. When you first sip it, your mouth is filled with Booker’s signature vanilla flavor, and it leaves you with a lingering well-rounded finish. I know my dad and grandad would have enjoyed this batch over a football game, and I’m very proud to name this batch in honor of my granddad, Frederick Booker Noe.

LABEL INSPIRATION

The fourth release of the Booker’s Bourbon 2022 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2022-04 “Pinkie’s Batch.” Frederick Booker Noe, better known as Pinkie to his family and friends, was my grandad. To this day I’m actually not sure where Pinkie got his nickname from, but one thing I do know is that he was someone who always followed his passions, just like I do with whiskey making.

A lot of people thought that Pinkie was in the bourbon business – a good assumption to make about someone in our family – but he worked as the vice president of the local bank. That’s not to say he didn’t enjoy drinking bourbon – he actually was a big fan – but the bourbon business just wasn’t his thing like it was for Dad and is for me and my son Freddie. When Pinkie wasn’t running the bank, he also loved to golf. I remember as a little boy that golf was a big part of his life, and he tried to play as often as possible. So much so that he had an indent in his hip from the golf balls he’d keep in his pocket. Pinkie was also an outdoorsman, with a passion for hunting that he passed down to Booker. He often brought Dad along with him to hunt quail, and I know those were always bonding experiences for them.

In 1865, a visionary English pair, John Davy and Francis Gooding, secured land with a captivating view of the Albert River. They christened the open expanse "Beenleigh," a nod to their cherished Devonshire farmhouse. Initially drawn to cotton cultivation, the allure of sugar cane proved more prosperous. The evolution of the Maitre de Chais de Rum Explorer unfolds in a meticulous journey of maturation. To cultivate an intricate aromatic spectrum, we entrusted this rum to a seasoned process. It flourished within an American oak barrel, formerly cradling a spirit infused with the essence of Cognac.

Rich, dark and full-bodied. Level up your pour with this aged rum that’s best saved for your finer occasions. Or no occasion at all — it’s your call. Serve it neat or on the rocks. Or let it take your favorite mixer to new heights.
