LABEL INSPIRATION
Fred Noe - Beam Family 7th Generation Master Distiller
This batch is named after the production site where my father, Booker Noe, first started his distilling career.
The distillery, now renamed the Booker Noe Distillery, is located in the small community of Boston, Ky., and was purchased by the James B. Beam Distilling Co. in the early 1950’s as a second distilling location to increase production capability at the time. Because Boston was removed from the day-to-day of our flagship Clermont, Ky. distillery, Dad was able to experiment with whiskey a bit more and truly master his craft and style as a distiller there. Some may say this is where he found his love of experimentation.
If you ever wanted to find my Dad, Boston is where he’d be. That plant was his life for more than 40 years. He hired a bunch of folks from the Boston area and made it like one big family over there. Mom always said the Boston distillery was Dad’s first baby and I was his second.
I hope this latest batch of Booker’s finds you in good spirits and that you enjoy it.
MASTER DISTILLER NOTES
This will be a history making batch of Booker’s Bourbon since I selected this batch with the help of my son and 8th Generation Beam Distiller, Freddie Noe.
The color is a rich, light brown that reminds me of the beautiful horses throughout Kentucky. The aroma contains vanilla, toasted nuts and some hints of baking spices. The flavor is full and has a finish that can be enjoyed neat.
We enjoyed tasting it and selecting the barrels on an unseasonably cool and rainy day.
This batch is special to me since I created it with my son to carry on my father’s legacy and his distillery location. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed selecting it.
The batch is made up of barrels from three different production dates stored in four different rackhouses in six different locations.
The breakdown of the barrel storage is as follows:
11% came from the 3rd floor of 7-story warehouse 5
33% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse G
27% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse H
29% came from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z
