LABEL INSPIRATION

Fred Noe - Beam Family 7th Generation Master Distiller

I’m especially pleased to release this special batch as our first, as it is named in tribute to Tommy Crume

Who started his career at the distillery as a young man and worked closely alongside Dad for decadest

They spent so much time together that we used to joke that he was like a second son to Dad!

Over all those years, Tommy learned just how Dad liked things to be done around the distillery, especially when it came to his namesake bourbon and eventually worked his way up to Distillery Manager at the Clermont, Ky. plant, helping to make sure that everything continued to run just the way Dad would have wanted.

After almost 30 years with us, Tommy retired in 2016 and I know Dad would be honored to name the first batch of 2017 after his dear friend. I hope you'll join me in raising a glass of Booker's "Tommy's Batch" in celebration of Dad’s legacy and Tommy’s, too.”

MASTER DISTILLER NOTES

I selected this batch with the help of Tommy himself, the Booker’s Roundtable and a select group of whiskey experts and writers.

The batch consisted of two production dates aged in three different warehouses.

41% came from the 6th floor of the 9 story warehouse E
13% came from the 6th floor of the 9 story warehouse H
46% came from the 7th floor of the 9 story warehouse D

“FRED, MAKE SURE THEY DON’T MESS WITH

MY BOOKER’S.”
