John Lee Hooker Legacy Spirits isn't just bourbon. It's a tribute to the enduring power of family connections, distilled into every bottle. Glenn Thomas, inspired by his grandfather's love for a good pour and their shared moments over bourbon, created this brand to honor a legacy and share its warmth with the world.

Who Are We?

John Lee Hooker Legacy Spirits is a new spirit brand inspired by the legendary blues musician John Lee Hooker. The brand was created by Hooker's grandson, Glenn Thomas, who is the driving force behind the brand. Glenn is passionate about honoring his grandfather's legacy and believes that a spirit brand is a perfect way.

HONORING A LEGEND

Picture a young Glenn, turning 21. His grandfather, with a twinkle in his eye, pours him his first taste of bourbon. He said that you are now 21 so you can have a drink with me. Glenn who never had bourbon was shocked when his grandfather poured the bourbon onto a glass with no ice or coke. Glenn just picked up the glass and took a shot of the bourbon which burned his chest. His grandfather said slow down and poured him another glass then educated him on the proper way to sip bourbon. After Glenn had the 2nd glass the correct way he discovered his love of bourbon. John Lee told his young grandson that first glass you rushed, and you got burnt that second glass you took your time and you savory that's life when you rush you crash and burn so slow down and enjoy life. It's not just the smooth flavor that Glenn remembers, but the conversation that followed. Hours spent talking with his grandfather about life, dreams, and the importance of family.
