Hand-written bottle number

Did You Know? According to Mike Donahoe—former national sales manager for Jim Beam—Booker's bourbon was originally exclusively given to friends and family and never distributed for sale. After garnering incredible reviews through word of mouth and creating a proper underground buzz, Booker's was eventually sold through distribution years later.
