Most people remember my grandfather for the music.
The records, the stages, the legend of John Lee Ho**er.

But growing up around him, I saw something different in the man behind it all.

I watched him help people when nobody was watching. No recognition. No announcement. Just doing what he believed was right, because he never forgot what it felt like to be the one who needed help. That stayed with me.

Because real character is not built in the spotlight, it's built in the quiet moments, the couch someone lets you sleep on, the door someone opened, the words someone said when you had nothing.

Success is never a solo journey, and the most powerful thing we can do when we get somewhere is look back and pull someone else up with us.

That is the heartbeat behind everything we build at John Lee Ho**er Legacy Spirits.

Thank you, , for the feature

LIVE on FOX40 Morning News

Last month Glenn Thomas joined the morning team live on to share the story behind John Lee Ho**er Legacy Spirits.

During the segment he made one of our favorite cocktails, the Doc Hook, using Boogie Chillen Bourbon 1948 Bottle in Bonded Release.

The moment was about more than a drink. It was about honoring blues history and sharing the culture behind the brand. Thank you we will see you soon.

If you want to try the Doc Hook yourself, the recipe is on our website: www.johnleehookerlegacyspirits.com

What a night in Oak Park.

We had an unforgettable bourbon tasting experience at Fixin’s Soul Food in partnership with St. Hope Foundation as part of their 40 Acres Programming for Black History Month.

Guests enjoyed the bold flavors of Boogie Chillen Bourbon, now available at Fixin’s.

• 1948 Bottle Bonded 100 Proof
• Boom Boom Cask Strength

Thank you to everyone who came out and shared this experience with us. It was a pleasure connecting with the Sacramento community in Oak Park. Also a big shout out to the Fixin’s staff, who took really good care of us.

Your support means everything to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

Cheers!

“I’m here to keep my grandfather’s name alive.” 🎸🥃

Glenn Thomas, grandson of the legendary John Lee Ho**er, is doing more than just launching a bourbon—he’s reclaiming a legacy. From selling his home to fund the project to naming the blend “Boogie Chillen” after his grandfather’s 1948 hit, every bottle of John Lee Ho**er Legacy Spirits is a labor of love and a step toward bringing the Ho**er catalog back home.

Raise a glass to the blues. Cheers to Glenn for betting on himself and his family’s story. l
