The Big Man of Jim Beam - Booker Noe and the Number One Bourbon in the World Hardcover – Import, 28 October 2016

Absolutely couldn’t put it down. I’m not a reader but this book is captivating for a bourbon enthusiast. Tells the story of the most interesting man to ever touch bourbon. Had to pick up bookers sons book because I couldn’t get enough of this book. If you love bourbon you’ll absolutely love this book.

Thanks these were for Christmas presents! My husband is the warehouse manager there,,,,MERRY Christmas!!

If you're looking for some behind the scenes views of how Booker Noe grew Jim Beam you'll get a lot of that along with some of the Beam history and facts. It is a short book that goes through Booker's upbringing and how he came to be the Master Distiller.The last 50 pages or so are recipies for using Beam in the kitchen. I wasn't expecting that but I will try a couple of them

This book tells the story of Booker Noe. He was a master distiller of bourbon and he worked to help Jim Beam as a brand that was in demand.A bit of history is given, including how bourbon lost its popularity after prohibition ended and at the end of the 20th century.The main story is about the man and his life, not only in the distillery but in his background and hunting and fishing.There are photos, a list of Jim Beam’s bourbon lineup, a glossary and some food and drink recipes – all of course including bourbon. We actually made the bourbon chicken which turned out well.This is a book for Jim Beam lovers and bourbon drinkers too.

I love story about real people who were real characters. I was hoping this would be such a book, rather this a collection of stories about Booker Noe, sorted together to try and form a biography of the man and the brand of Jim Beam. For any serious Bourbon nerd there will be little new material here. I feel like this is a book best left to the bookshelf of the Jim Beam gift shop, and not the serious spirits history buff. Some stories are chuckle worthy, some maybe show a little insight or history, but this book just comes off as an over expanded bio that would maybe be on the back of a limited edition bourbon bottle. Great for someone new to Bourbon, but perhaps not the experience imbiber.
