The third release of the BookerвЂ™sВ® Bourbon 2021 Collection is BookerвЂ™s Batch 2021-03 вЂBardstown Batch.вЂ™ This batch honors the homeplace of not only my dad, Booker Noe, but several generations of Beam family members, including myself and my son Freddie.Дad was born in Springfield, Kentucky, but spent a good amount of time in Bardstown visiting friends along with his grandfather, Jim Beam. With a clean, pleasant finish this batch is as inviting as the town that itвЂ™s named for вЂ“ welcome to BookerвЂ™s Bardstown Batch.вЂќ It was a hot, humid day in Kentucky when I selected this batch, but the full-bodied taste will make it an ideal pour as the weather starts to turn crisp in the months ahead. You experience nice brown sugar and caramel aromas with a hint of charred oak when you lift a glass of this batch to your nose, and the sweet caramel character continues in the taste, along with some bakery spice. This batch has the matured amber color youвЂ™ve come to expect from our well-aged, cask-strength BookerвЂ™s Bourbon.

Fred Noe, Beam Family 7th Generation Master Distiller Like we always say at the distillery: come as friends, leave as family. ItвЂ™s just the way us Noes are wired.ДЄs you enjoy вЂњNoe Strangers Batch,вЂќ I hope youвЂ™ll think of Dad and his generous way of making everyone he met feel at home. Dad taught us to вЂtreat others how we would want to be treatedвЂ™- a lesson our family holds true to this day. HeвЂ™d listen to stories from every customer he met and just like that, theyвЂ™d become a fan вЂ“ and a friend вЂ“ for life. Here in Kentucky and out on the road, Dad wouldnвЂ™t leave a bourbon event until he shook hands with everyone that wanted to talk to him. His knack for making friends carried into his work as well. There he struck up a conversation with some of the members, and the next day, more than 300 of them were invited to the house for lunch. He would call out to Mom and say, вЂњSet an extra plate at the table, IвЂ™m inviting this salesman to dinner!вЂќ Another time, Dad was invited to a rally for the Blue KnightsВ® Motorcycle Club, an international brotherhood of active and retired law enforcement officers who share a passion for motorcycle riding. Take for example when Dad took a liking to the products that a salesman was selling. The fourth release of the BookerвЂ™sВ® Bourbon 2021 Collection is BookerвЂ™s Batch 2021-04 вЂNoe Strangers Batch.вЂ™ This batch celebrates the genuine, social nature of my dad, Booker Noe, and the way he could turn a stranger into a friend for life in no time.

From the name of the batch that reflects the way he lived his life, to the bourbon in the bottle that tastes the way he enjoyed it, I know my Dad would be proud of this batch. The finish is long and warm, just the way Dad liked it. Because of where BookerвЂ™s is aged, the initial heat wonвЂ™t overwhelm you and leaves you with a balanced taste. The aroma has vanilla and brown spice, and this sweetness continues when it first hits your tongue. I sampled this batch on a rainy morning, and as usual, the first sip told me this was a batch that my Dad would be proud of. The batch has a nice color coming from the time it rested in charred white oak barrels in our Kentucky climate.
