Today, The James B. Beam Distilling Co. and Freddie Noe, 8th Generation Master Distiller have announced the first line extension and inaugural Little Book series, Little Book “The Infinite: Edition 1” Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey.
This new line is meant to celebrate three generations of Noe distillers at the facility.
In the Fred B. Noe distillery at the James B. Beam Distilling Co.’s Clermont campus, Freddie Noe was experimenting with blending varying aged whiskeys, when he sought to blend barrels his father, Fred Noe, and grandfather, Booker Noe, laid down. Each year, new whiskey will get added into the blend, delivering an ever-evolving experience.
“My father and I are lucky enough to work together, side by side as Master Distillers, and I know he always dreamed of that with his own father, my Grandaddy Booker,” says Freddie Noe, 8th generation master distiller. “This new series pays tribute to that dream and inspired the first Edition of Little Book ‘The Infinite’, a multigenerational liquid that will form the foundation of all future releases. Once a year, I’ll bottle some up for the world to try. So, savor this whiskey today, and come back in a year for its next evolution.”
Little Book ‘The Infinite: Edition 1’ includes the following liquids:
- Booker Noe’s Component: Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, aged 20 years
- Fred Noe’s Component: Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, aged 14 years
- Freddie Noe’s Component: Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, aged 7 years
- Shared Family Component: Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, aged 8 Years
The bourbon distilled by Booker Noe lays the groundwork with notes of oak, char and smoke, the distillery reports. Fred Noe’s bourbon brings in flavors of dark fruit, cherry and brown sweets. It’s rounded out with bourbon Freddie Noe made where caramel, vanilla and spice notes come through.
Little Book “The Infinite: Edition 1” will roll out in limited quantities to retail locations nationwide. Consumers can go tolittlebookwhiskey.com for retail locations.
This new release is 59.65% ABV. It has a suggested retail price of $199.99 per 750-ml. bottle.
Little Book’s name references the nickname given to Freddie by his legendary grandfather, American whiskey pioneer Booker Noe.
This follows the recent release of 2024 Booker’s Batch #2 “The Beam House Batch.”
