Booker's 2025-03 ‘Jerry’s Batch’ Bourbon & Maker's Mark Lost Recipe Edition 2 Bourbon Bundle

Booker’s 2025-03 ‘Jerry’s Batch’ Bourbon & Maker’s Mark Lost Recipe Edition 2 Bourbon Bundle is a bold, collector-friendly pairing that showcases two very different expressions of Kentucky bourbon craft—Booker’s signature uncut, unfiltered barrel-strength intensity alongside Maker’s Mark’s experimental wheated innovation from its Lost Recipe series. Together, this bundle delivers a high-proof, full-throttle sipping experience balanced by a smoother, layered bourbon built around Maker’s trademark wheat-forward sweetness.

Process & Profile

Booker’s 2025-03 ‘Jerry’s Batch’ is bottled uncut and unfiltered at barrel strength, pulling straight from carefully selected barrels to preserve maximum flavor, richness, and mouth-coating texture. As a distinct 2025 batch release, it captures the unique character of that particular blend—big oak, deep caramelization, and the warm punch Booker’s fans chase.

Maker’s Mark Lost Recipe Edition 2 is part of Maker’s innovation program, revisiting and reimagining older or experimental approaches within the Maker’s style. Built on a wheated bourbon foundation, it leans into Maker’s signature softness while adding extra depth through recipe-driven variation—often emphasizing amplified aromatics, darker sweetness, and layered spice without becoming harsh.

Tasting Notes

Booker’s 2025-03 ‘Jerry’s Batch’

• Nose: Roasted peanuts, charred oak, dark caramel, vanilla bean, and baking spice

• Palate: Explosive toffee, brown sugar, cinnamon, clove, and toasted barrel char with a dense, oily mouthfeel

• Finish: Long, hot, and powerful—oak, spice, and caramel linger with classic Booker’s barrel-strength warmth

Maker’s Mark Lost Recipe Edition 2

• Nose: Sweet vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and soft baking spice with a rounded, pastry-like sweetness

• Palate: Creamy toffee, honeyed wheat, maple, gentle cinnamon, and warm oak—rich but smooth

• Finish: Medium-long, elegant, and sweet-forward with lingering vanilla, light spice, and soft wood

What Makes It Special

• Barrel-strength meets wheated innovation: One bourbon is unapologetically intense; the other is experimental, layered, and smoother

• Batch + limited edition appeal: Booker’s releases are batch-specific, and Lost Recipe Edition 2 is designed as a limited, concept-driven drop

• Perfect side-by-side tasting: Compare proof, texture, oak impact, and sweetness in a single curated bundle

• Giftable for bourbon fans: A “power pour + refined pour” duo that fits both collectors and serious sippers

How to Enjoy

• Neat (best for tasting): Start with Maker’s Mark Lost Recipe Edition 2 to calibrate your palate, then move to Booker’s for maximum impact.

• A few drops of water for Booker’s: Water can unlock extra caramel, nutty notes, and spice nuance while taming the heat.

• Elevated cocktails (optional):

  • Booker’s makes a beastly Old Fashioned with deep oak and spice.

  • Maker’s Lost Recipe Edition 2 shines in a softer Boulevardier or a sweet-leaning Whiskey Sour.
