For years, Texas whiskey has been carving out its own identity—grain-forward, bold, and unapologetically different. And at the heart of that movement is Still Austin, an upstart distillery doing things the hard way: grain-to-glass, locally sourced, and rooted in artistry.

Booker’s Bourbon has built its legacy on bold, uncut, and unfiltered whiskey, each batch personally selected by Master Distiller Freddy Noe. Every release aims to capture a moment, a story, or a piece of bourbon heritage — and the 2024-04 release is no exception.

For decades, Old Grand-Dad has been the dependable workhorse of the bourbon shelf—high-rye, affordable, and full of punch. But every so often, the name steps out of its budget-friendly lane and swings for the fences.
