The name Little Book comes from the nickname Booker gave Freddie as a child, a nod to his resemblance to his grandfather, and the series was Freddie's first opportunity to step out from the long shadows of Booker and Fred Noe and demonstrate his own creative voice as a blender. That voice, it turned out, was ambitious from the very first page. \"The Easy\" is not a bourbon. It is a blended straight whiskey assembled from four distinct straight whiskey components, each representing one of the core grain categories found in a traditional bourbon mashbill — approached here not as a single ferment but as four finished and fully matured spirits brought together in precise proportion. The blend comprises a 13-year-old straight corn whiskey aged in used barrels, a 4-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon, and both straight rye and straight malt whiskeys each aged approximately 6 years in new charred barrels. No neutral spirit, no added color, and no flavoring — all of which are permitted under the blended whiskey category but deliberately excluded here. Released in October 2017, uncut and unfiltered at 128.2 proof and 64.1% ABV, presented in the signature Little Book black wood box with glass panel. As the first chapter in a now-established annual series and the only expression in the lineup that has never been repeated, this is an irreplaceable inaugural collector's piece from the Beam family archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJames B.

Bourbon requires all grains to be mashed, fermented, and distilled together. By working with finished single-grain straight whiskeys, Freddie deconstructed the bourbon mashbill into its component parts and reassembled them as a blender. No neutral spirit, no color, and no flavoring were added, which makes this far more craft-intensive than most American blended whiskeys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes this the No. 001 inaugural release so collectible?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 \"The Easy\" was released in October 2017 as Freddie Noe's first-ever whiskey and the opening chapter of what is now a well-established annual series.

Where the inaugural Chapter 1 stayed within the boundaries of American grain whiskey, Chapter 2 crossed a border — literally. Inspired by a visit to Beam's Canadian distilleries, Freddie became fascinated by the fruity and floral notes Canadian whiskies achieve through their distinct aging and production styles, so different from Kentucky's traditions. He set out to weave those characteristics into a blend with American rye at its core, and what followed was twice as much work as Chapter 1 — hence the name \"Noe Simple Task.\" The final blend brings together three uncut and unfiltered components: an 8-year-old Kentucky straight rye whiskey bottled at 119.8 proof, a 13-year-old Canadian rye whiskey aged in re-charred barrels at 111.9 proof, and a 40-year-old Canadian whisky made from 100% corn, aged in once-used bourbon barrels, at 137.8 proof. No neutral grain spirit, no added color, no flavoring — a deliberate statement in a category that permits all three. The 40-year Canadian component is one of the oldest whiskies ever incorporated into a mass-market American whiskey blend and is what Freddie credited with finally \"achieving exactly what he wanted — a truly balanced and refined whiskey with a nice, lingering finish that's full of flavor.\" Bottled at 59.4% ABV and 118.8 proof, uncut and unfiltered.

The name references the road Freddie drives to and from the distillery every day, the same road Booker Noe drove when he worked there, and it was with that daily journey in mind that Freddie decided to honor his grandfather by building a blend entirely from the four bourbon brands Booker created as part of the Jim Beam Small Batch Bourbon Collection in the early 1990s. The components are each sourced at significantly greater age than their standard commercial expressions: a 9-year-old Knob Creek, a 9-year-old Basil Hayden's, an 11-year-old Booker's, and a 12-year-old Baker's — all at barrel strength, all uncut and unfiltered. Freddie tested 57 different recipes before landing on recipe 51 as the final blend, more trial and error than any previous Little Book chapter, because as he put it: \"if someone is going to play with the liquids that my grandfather developed, they had better produce a damned good blend.\" The result is the first bourbon-only Little Book and the most cohesive expression of the Beam family legacy in the series.

Where earlier chapters pushed outward — incorporating Canadian rye, Scotch, and Japanese whisky — Chapter 4 turns inward, toward home. It is an ode to Freddie's father, 7th Generation Beam Master Distiller Fred Noe, and to the decade the two spent working side by side at the James B. Beam Distillery in Clermont, Kentucky. Every element of the blend was chosen because of its connection to Fred, and to the lessons — about patience, honesty, and craft — that a father passed down to a son who was being prepared to carry on one of American whiskey's great family legacies. The blend brings together three uncut and unfiltered Kentucky straight whiskeys: a 4-year-old Kentucky straight brown rice bourbon that represents Freddie's very first solo distillation project — rice takes two to three weeks to ferment versus the three days typical of a Kentucky bourbon, a lesson in patience Fred taught him firsthand — an 8-year-old Kentucky straight high-rye rye whiskey reflecting Fred's love of bold flavor, and a 7-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon with flavors reminiscent of Beam's Small Batch Collection, a spirit Fred has enjoyed for years. Fred himself unknowingly helped select that final component when Freddie brought him samples to evaluate. The blue hang tag on the neck, a distinctive detail on this release, is a tribute to the Kentucky Wildcats — Freddie and Fred's shared favorite team.

Standing 6'4\" and around 300 pounds, Booker was quick for his size — quick enough to play as both a tackle and kicker in high school, and later to practice with the University of Kentucky football team. Football was woven into the fabric of Noe family life. Booker built goal posts in the backyard for his grandson Freddie, and the whole family would gather to watch games on TV during the holiday season. Fred Noe named this batch for that side of his father — the big, physical, enthusiastic man who brought the same force of personality to a football field that he brought to a rickhouse. In December 2020 Booker would have turned 91, and this batch honors his memory. Drawn from two production dates aged across five rickhouse locations — with 32% anchored by the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse X and 27% from warehouse M — this batch delivers one of the more fruit-forward and richly dark profiles in the 2020 collection.

Released as the fifth chapter, it marks five years of the Little Book series and functions — as the name implies — as a literal invitation to any drinker, seasoned or new, to step into the world of unusual American whiskey blends. Rather than reaching to Canada or Scotland for exotic components as previous chapters had done, \"The Invitation\" draws entirely from within the Beam family archive, and the story it tells is one of range: how much difference age can create within the same American bourbon tradition. The four-component blend spans the widest age spectrum in the series to that point — from a 2-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon distilled to the lowest proof Beam has ever purposefully aged in new oak (entering with a creamy, viscous character unlike standard Beam production) to a 3-year-old malted 100% rye whiskey bringing peppery spice and toasted cereal nuttiness, a 5-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon adding vanilla and corn sweetness as a bridge, and a 15-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon at 117.2 proof providing the structural backbone of mature oak, tannic depth, and oaky potency that pulls the younger components into line.

Carl was a demanding mentor, a man who ran a tight ship and didn't put up with foolishness. But he also recognized talent. Booker was a fast learner and got straight to work, quickly earning Carl's respect and approval. Two years into Booker's tenure, Jim Beam acquired a new distillery in Boston, Kentucky to expand production capabilities. Carl and Booker worked side by side to get it up and running — and then Carl handed Booker the reins. This was where Booker was given room to experiment, to develop his instincts, and to truly begin mastering the bourbon-making process. That Boston distillery was later renamed the Booker Noe Distillery in his honor. The apprenticeship that Carl Beam provided gave Booker Noe the foundation for everything that followed: the creation of Booker's Bourbon, the coining of \"small batch,\" and 40 years as one of the most influential Master Distillers in American whiskey history. Bottled at 62.75% ABV and 125.5 proof, uncut and unfiltered, aged 7 years, 1 month, and 2 days, drawn from six warehouses with 36% anchored by the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse Z.

Carl was the senior figure in charge — a no-nonsense teacher who expected Booker to learn fast and work hard. When Jim Beam acquired the Boston, Kentucky distillery two years later, Carl and Booker worked together to establish it, and then Carl stepped back and gave Booker the freedom to take the reins. That distillery became Booker's proving ground, and was later renamed the Booker Noe Distillery. Without Carl's apprenticeship, there may never have been a Booker's Bourbon. This batch honors that foundational mentor-student bond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does 2023-02 compare to other 2023 Booker's releases?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe also carry the 2023-03 Mighty Fine Batch, the third release of the same year.

The name honors Booker Noe's signature phrase — \"mighty fine\" — the two words he reached for whenever he approved of something, whether that was his namesake bourbon, his beloved country ham, or the work of someone he admired. Booker was not given to extravagant compliments, which is exactly what made \"mighty fine\" land so hard when he said it. The name also carries a specific and deeply personal memory for Fred Noe. Shortly before Booker passed away in 2004, Fred selected the barrels for a Booker's batch for the very first time — a moment full of pressure for a son stepping into enormous shoes. After tasting the sample Fred brought him, Booker looked at his son and said simply: \"Mighty fine job, son.\" Fred has never forgotten that moment, and this batch carries it forward. Aged 7 years, 1 month, and 10 days, drawn from seven production dates across six warehouses — with 55% of the blend anchored by the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse 3 — and bottled at 63.3% ABV and 126.6 proof, uncut and unfiltered.

The name comes from an unusual discovery made by engineers at Jim Beam's Boston distillery: a maze of pipes running through the rafters that connected to nothing and led nowhere. These phantom pipes, it turns out, were the remnants of late master distiller Booker Noe's restless tinkering — the physical evidence of an experimental mind always in motion, always connecting one idea to another. As Fred Noe recalls, his father was always chasing the next great idea with whatever he had on hand, and these forgotten pipes are a quiet monument to that stubborn genius. Bottled at 63.2% ABV and 126.4 proof, uncut and unfiltered, this batch was aged precisely 7 years, 6 months, and 15 days and drawn from barrels across multiple warehouse locations and floor levels.

The batch is named after Jerry Dalton, the only Master Distiller in the history of James B. Beam Distilling Co. who was not a member of the Beam family. Jerry first came into the Noe family's orbit as a neighbor, moving in behind the family home after taking a job at a local distillery as a chemist. He and Booker Noe became close friends over the years, and Jerry eventually joined Beam, helping deepen the team's understanding of distilling science. When Booker retired, Jerry stepped up as Master Distiller and held the role for several years — keeping the torch burning until Fred Noe was ready to take over. As Fred Noe puts it, Jerry was Beam by heart if not by blood, and his impact on the distillery's process and culture is still felt today. This batch reflects that same depth and precision: drawn in perfectly equal 11.1% proportions from nine different warehouses across seven production dates, each floor level contributing its own micro-climate character to a blend of remarkable balance. Bottled at 62.35% ABV and 124.7 proof, uncut and unfiltered, aged 7 years, 4 months, and 21 days.

The batch was selected by Fred Noe, Booker's son and Jim Beam's 7th Generation Master Distiller, with the help of Tommy himself, the Booker's Roundtable, and a select group of whiskey experts. Tommy's Batch was drawn from 335 barrels across three warehouses: 41% from the 6th floor of Warehouse E, 13% from the 6th floor of Warehouse H, and 46% from the 7th floor of Warehouse D. Aged exactly 6 years, 4 months, and 6 days, and bottled at 128.5 proof (64.25% ABV), this is a back vintage batch that is nearly a decade out of active retail circulation and now firmly established as a collector piece among Booker's enthusiasts who follow the named batch series.

The name honors Springfield, Kentucky — the small rural town in the heart of central Kentucky where Booker Noe was born and raised. For Booker, Springfield was the beginning of everything: he grew up working on farms in and around the town, in the hay fields and tobacco patches, learning the rhythms of Kentucky land and life that would eventually shape the way he thought about bourbon. Fred Noe selected this batch as a tribute to his father's origins and the rootedness that defined Booker's character — a man who never lost his connection to where he came from, no matter how far bourbon took him. This batch draws from five separate production dates stored across four aging warehouses, with 45% of the blend coming from the 4th floor of 7-story warehouse 3 and 31% from the 5th floor of 7-story warehouse Z, giving Springfield Batch a bold, oak-forward character with notable fruit depth.

Every previous Little Book chapter had orbited the bourbon world — Chapter 3 was all bourbon, others incorporated malt, corn, and Canadian whisky — but none had placed rye grain at the center of the glass. Chapter 8 changes that completely. \"Path Not Taken\" is Freddie's first rye-focused Little Book, a seven-component blend built around six straight rye whiskeys of varying age, char level, and mash bill — including Kentucky ryes and a Pennsylvania-style rye — anchored by an 18-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon with a high-rye mash bill. The components range in age from 4 to 18 years, the oldest being that high-rye bourbon, which brings maturity and a brown sugar sweetness to what is otherwise an assertively spice-forward, rye-driven blend. The green hang tag on the neck is not a random detail — it is Freddie's deliberate visual nod to the rye-forward character of this chapter, a color chosen to signal what's inside. Bottled at 59.1% ABV and 118.2 proof, uncut and unfiltered, released May 2024. Critically received as one of the standout American whiskey releases of 2024.
