The Story of
Clermont
A liquid and a legacy, that could only come from one place.
Climate
The microclimates shaped by the rigid and rolling hills define the area around Clermont - and the liquid that was aged here.
Place
In a rack house swathed by thick woodland, Clermont took on a warmth that may as well have come from the strong Kentucky sun itself.
Discover
Taste it and discover the warm spice, leather, and the contours that shaped over 227 years of Beam distilling.

Kentucky Series
The Story of
Frankfort
In Frankfort, and in whiskey, slower is better.
Climate
Humidity hangs heavy at our campus in Frankfort, seeming to slow the passage of time itself. It only makes the whiskey better.
Place
There's less ventilation in the rackhouses in Frankfort, which allows the liquid to age at its own pace and take on a subtle campfire and cigar box nose.
Discover
Taste the rich yet floral tobacco notes that humidity and time imbue. It may be aged for 17 years, but its soul is even older.

Boston
COLOR
Rich amber with darker tones
Palate
Soft caramel and vanilla with oak tones, faded hazelnut
nose
Toasted marshmallow, dark chocolate, and slight coconut
Golden sunshine and clear air define the climate of the Booker Noe campus in Boston, KY. These unique conditions make for faster, richer aging. A distiller couldn’t ask for a better climate for maturation.
Place
In Boston, the rackhouses are widely spaced, giving the bourbon even room to mature. The distance meets the clear conditions to create a bold and characterful whiskey, much like Booker Noe himself.
Discover
This terroir lends the liquid a sweetness not found in the other Kentucky Series releases: hazelnut, coconut, marshmallow, and baking spices. Ideal conditions truly make an ideal bourbon.
