Bookers

Following the end of the American Revolutionary War, Johannes Reginald Beam emigrated from Germany to the United States, and eventually settled in Kentucky County. At the time, Kentucky County was still considered part of Virginia, and was overseen by a military governor named John J. Bowman. After settling in Kentucky, Beam began harvesting corn and set forth a family tradition by distilling the excess grains he harvested into whiskey. Since then, seven generations of the Beam family have been involved in whiskey production for the eponymous company (the company is actually named after James Beam, who rescued it following Prohibition).30 years ago, Booker Noe, released the first batch of his namesake Bookers Bourbon as his vision of what the perfect whiskey should be.

This round is named in honor of Booker Noes lesser-known group of friends, the Blue Knights Motorcycle Club. The Blue Knights are an international group of active and retired law enforcement officers sharing a passion for the open road. Their alliance with Booker Noe began when he was invited to attend a Blue Knights rally in Kentucky. The friendship was instant, and in his classic larger-than-life ways, Noe invited all 300 officers over to his house the following day for a BBQ. This moment eventually evolved into a tradition, and it became an annual event each Memorial Day weekend. The Blue Knights named Noe an honorary member of the Blue Knights. In honor of this tradition, Bookers Bourbon has decided to pay tribute to the Blue Knights with their very own batch of this namesake bourbon in homage to the many years of friendship they shared. Bottled at 63.7 percent ABV, this batch consisted of barrels from four different production dates aged in several different locations within four warehouses; 2 percent from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse ONE, 38 percent came from the 7th floor of 9-story warehouse D, 33 percent from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse F, 27 percent from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse J. I hope youll join me in raising a glass of Bookers Blue Knights and toasting to brotherhood and great bourbon (Fred Noe, Beam Familys 7th Generation Master Distiller).Pick up a bottle today!
