Bill Murray, ‘Stripes’ and Booker Noe

“Other VIPs I met over the years include: Bill Murray, who was a big bourbon fan. A little-known fact: They shot the movie ‘Stripes’ on our distillery grounds, and he used to sneak off the set and slip into Booker’s office, where they would both have a private happy hour in the middle of the day. Booker had no idea who he was, couldn’t have cared less, he was just happy to have someone to drink with.”

“Beam, Straight Up: The Bold Story of the First Family of Bourbon” by master distiller Fred Noe. Booker Noe, of course, was his father.
