Booker's β the second 2022 named batch, with 'The Lumberyard' name referencing the timber and barrel-making heritage that underpins American bourbon β specifically the oak lumber tradition that produces the new charred barrels required by law for Kentucky straight bourbon maturation.
American bourbon is inseparable from white oak lumber β every batch must age in new, charred American oak containers.
