    No.

    Bookers is made by Beam, as is knob. Booker Noe was the 4th master distiller at The Beam distillery as we know it, Jim beams son had a daughter who married a Noe, their son was Booker. Each beam master distiller, plus Baker Beam (who was assistant master distiller under Booker) get their own small batch they design themselves. Basil Hayden's is from the same situation.

    Knob creek was a small distillery bought by beam many years ago.

    I've had a good chance to talk with Baker Beam, and he has some great stories to tell of the history of the beam distillery post prohibition.

    Not screaming. Hope it isn't coming across that way. Just stating my opinions, and correcting facts.
