Detailed Description

This batch is made from barrels produced on three different production dates and stored in six different locations. The breakdown is as follows: 7% came from the 4th floor of 9-story warehouse E 14% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse E 4% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse E 24% came from the 5th floor of 9-story warehouse J 44% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse J 7% came from the 6th floor of 9-story warehouse D. This batch has a beautiful color that is a deep chestnut and has a robust and flavor rich taste profile. The nose is a rich balance of vanilla and oak that comes from aging in the white oak barrels for over six years. The finish is balanced and pleasant and does not overpower your taste buds. In Dads honor, Ive enjoyed this batch with a healthy splash of water, also called a Kentucky Tea, which was one of his signature ways of his enjoying his Bookers. Fred Noe, Beam Familys 7th Generation Master Distiller
