LABEL INSPIRATION

Fred Noe - Beam Family 7th Generation Master Distiller

WHILE SOME MAY FLAVOR THEIR WATER WITH TEA LEAVES, MY DAD, BOOKER NOE, LOVED TO FLAVOR HIS WATER WITH BOURBON – SOMETHING HE CALLED KENTUCKY TEA.

Signature of Noe Booker

As you can imagine, Dad loved the flavor of bourbon, especially his Booker’s Bourbon. Since Booker’s is over 100 proof, the flavor still pulls through when added to water. So, he’d take one part bourbon and four parts water and enjoy his drink. One night, when a reporter was at Dad’s house for supper, he asked why Dad drank Kentucky Tea.

Dad quickly replied, “Why would I flavor my water with tea leaves when I can flavor my water with bourbon?” It was that simple - Kentucky Tea was Dad’s drink. He would drink it with a country ham or fish dinner and would say you need to sip the right proportion of Kentucky Tea to really appreciate the food.

As you sip this batch, add a taste of it to your water so you can try Dad’s Kentucky Tea with “Kentucky Tea Batch.” I know that’s how he would’ve liked it. Cheers!

THE THIRD RELEASE OF THE BOOKER’S BOURBON 2022 COLLECTION IS BOOKER’S BATCH 2022-03 “KENTUCKY TEA BATCH.”

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES

This batch was pulled on a hot and humid day in July. The color of this liquid is golden amber, and you embrace the dark, sweet vanilla aroma right away. With just one taste, your mouth is filled with rich and sweet flavors of vanilla. The lingering finish isn’t overpowering, so soon after you’ll want another sip.

I made myself a Kentucky Tea with Kentucky Tea Batch, and it brought back memories of my dad sitting at his own kitchen table enjoying his Kentucky Tea with supper.
