Uncle Boojie’s Family Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Uncle Boojie’s Family Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is shaping up to be one of the most attention‑grabbing small‑format bourbon releases of the year, and its bold presentation practically demands a closer look. This limited offering leans heavily into classic Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey heritage while embracing a high‑impact identity built for collectors, enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a distinctive, premium‑leaning whiskey release.

A Bold, High‑Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon
Uncle Boojie’s Family Reserve arrives as a potent, high‑proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, bottled at an eye‑catching 60.0% ABV. This elevated proof places it firmly in the realm of barrel‑strength, full‑intensity bourbon—ideal for drinkers who enjoy deep oak character, concentrated sweetness, and the layered complexity that only high‑proof whiskey can deliver. The Family Reserve name signals a more curated, elevated expression, suggesting a focus on rich barrel selection and traditional Kentucky craftsmanship.

Small Format, Big Personality
Packaged in 375ml bottles, this release fits perfectly into the growing trend of premium half‑size formats. These smaller bottles allow enthusiasts to explore high‑proof, limited‑edition bourbons without committing to a full 750ml, while also making the release more accessible for collectors who enjoy sampling multiple expressions. The compact size also reinforces the “Family Reserve” vibe—small, curated, intentional, and crafted for those who appreciate quality over quantity.

About Uncle Boojie’s Spirits:

Uncle Boojie’s Spirits (also known as Uncle Boojie’s Distilling Co.) is a Kentucky-born bourbon brand rooted in over 200 years of family tradition. Originally a clandestine operation in Howardstown, Kentucky—where the family reportedly supplied bourbon to Al Capone during Prohibition—it recently transitioned into a legitimate, legal distillery based in Louisville.

The Homeplace (Louisville Location)
The brand officially opened its “Homeplace” in September 2025 in the Paristown neighborhood of Louisville.

Location: 700 Vine Street, Louisville, KY 40204.
Atmosphere: Designed to feel like a “kinfolk’s porch,” the 4,500 sq. ft. venue features a tasting theater, a bonded warehouse, and a large outdoor area with a humidor for cigars.
Experiences: Guests can use a whiskey thief to draw raw, unfiltered bourbon directly from the barrel and even bottle and label their own one-of-a-kind keepsake.
Bourbon & Spirits
Uncle Boojie’s utilizes a proprietary family mash bill passed down for seven generations, focusing on single-barrel expressions aged at least five years.

Signature Bottles: Recent limited releases include an 8-year series named after family members, such as Jill (105 proof), Holly (118 proof), and Ember (121 proof).
Rare Releases: The distillery has produced highly limited 13-year-old bourbon releases, sometimes sold in custom stoneware jugs
Other Offerings: Beyond bourbon and rye, the distillery offers Milburn’s Grain Vodka and a proprietary “Spicy Mary” mix.
