This latest batch honours the homeplace of 6th Generation Master Distiller Booker Noe along with several other generations of Beam family members. Booker was born in Springfield, Kentucky, but spent a good amount of time in Bardstown visiting friends along with his grandfather, Jim Beam.
After going to college, he moved to Bardstown full-time to
join the family business. Booker lived in Bardstown for more than 50 years and
was well known in the community for his infectious personality. He was the
ultimate host, always inviting people over to the house for drinks and dinner
parties. These events became well known across town, especially when Booker was
serving his country ham that he would smoke right in the backyard - a practice
he learned from his grandfather and one that 7th Generation Master Distiller
Fred Noe continues to this day.
Booker’s Batch 2021-03 - Bardstown Batch, is said to deliver
notes of brown sugar, caramel and bakery spice.
Limited in quantities, Booker’s Batch 2021-03 - Bardstown
Batch, will be available later this month from specialist retailers in the US,
for a RRP of $89.99 – 750ml.
