Bottling Notes

Booker’s “Blue Knight’s Batch” is the 2nd release from the 2017 Booker’s Batch collection consisting of barrels from four different production dates aged in several different locations within four warehouses. It was selected by Fred Noe, Beam’s Master Distiller in tribute of to one of his father’s lesser-known group of friends, the Blue Knights® Motorcycle Club, an international brotherhood of active and retired law enforcement officers who share a passion for motorcycle riding and cruise together across the country.

Fred Noe comments:
“Many years ago, my dad, Booker Noe, was invited to attend a Blue Knights’ rally in Kentucky. He eagerly accepted because, as he put it, you could never have too many police officer friends. Dad made fast friends with the Blue Knights, and before you know it, he’d invited all 300 of them over to our house the next day for a BBQ lunch. You can imagine Mom’s face when he told her at breakfast the next day. But, that was Dad – larger-than life and always making new friends”.
