ABOUT BOOKER’S “THE BEAM HOUSE BATCH”
The second release of the Booker’s Bourbon 2024 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2024 02 “The Beam House Batch.”
The following passage is from Fred Noe, 7th generation Beam Master Distiller, son of Booker Noe (6th gen Master Distiller):
This batch is named after my home, a real special place full of beginnings, traditions, and memories not just for me, but for everyone at Beam.
I grew up just around the corner and lived next door for years before moving in after Dad passed away. The Beam House,” as the name
suggests, has been part of my family for generations my great grandad, Jim Beam lived here, my dad, Booker Noe, lived here, and now I do. It’s just kind of the way it goes in our family.
We’ve always spent a lot of time here together, whether it’s for Sunday dinners, drinking bourbon on the porch, or doing tastings for batches of Booker’s. Back when I lived next door, I used to walk across the yard with samples from the plant so Dad and whoever else was lucky enough to be there could gather round the kitchen table and taste them over some barbecue. Booker loved to entertain and always wanted to bring people through the house. Lord knows how many people have been here over the years; friends, neighbors, business partners, employees. Everyone’s welcome. Dad loved when people would stop by and come on out back for a drink, and now it’s a tradition I’m proud to carry on.
In this batch, I’ve tried to capture some of the joyful memories I’ve made in the Beam House for you to enjoy at yours.
