Pacult, F. Paul. American Still Life: The Jim Beam Story and the Making of the World's #1 Bourbon. Foreword by Frederick Booker Noe III. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, 2003.
Booker's attributed account favors mature barrels from selected central warehouse positions, judged for sweetness, texture and wood character without excessive tannic dryness. The account describes seven- to eight-year barrels and lots of roughly 50 to 100 barrels rather than a single-barrel release.
