We are thrilled to announce the second release of the Booker’s® Bourbon 2024 Collection: Booker’s Batch 2024-02, also known as “The Beam House Batch.” This special edition holds a deep personal significance, named after my family’s cherished home—a place brimming with beginnings, traditions, and countless memories for the Beam family and our close-knit community.
A Legacy of the Beam House
Growing up just around the corner and living next door for years before moving in after Dad passed away, “The Beam House” is more than just a residence. It has been the heart of our family for generations. From my great grandad, Jim Beam, to my dad, Booker Noe, and now myself, it symbolizes the enduring spirit and warmth of our lineage.
Our home has always been a gathering place. Whether it’s for Sunday dinners, enjoying bourbon on the porch, or conducting tastings for batches of Booker’s, the Beam House has witnessed countless moments of joy and camaraderie. Back when I lived next door, I’d often walk across the yard with samples from the plant for Dad and others to taste around the kitchen table over some barbecue. Booker loved to entertain, and his hospitality has become a tradition I proudly continue.
Master Distiller’s Notes
The Beam House Batch is particularly special to me, encapsulating the warmth and joy of our family home. This batch is a blend of five production dates stored across four different warehouse locations. When the barrels are dumped, the batch will be aged 7 years, 2 months, and 22 days, with a robust proof of 124.6.
Breakdown of barrel storage for the Booker’s “Beam House Batch”:
- 14% from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z
- 28% from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 3
- 19% from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Q
- 25% from the 7th floor of 9-story warehouse H
The deep amber color of this batch invites you to savor its aroma. The nose presents pleasant vanilla and dried fruit notes, enticing you to take a taste. The warm flavor spreads through your mouth, reminiscent of sitting on the Beam home’s porch. The welcoming aroma and taste lead to a long, pleasantly sweet finish, a result of aging in oak barrels. This batch of Booker’s is a tribute to the Beam family home, and I know you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Vanilla and dried fruits
- Taste: Warm, with a spread of flavors
- Finish: Long, sweet, and pleasantly spicy
