Since its launch in 2017, Little Book has been a standout whiskey selection from the James B. Beam Distilling Co, the same distillery that produces the famed Jim Beam. The creator of Little Book is Freddie Noe, an eighth generation master distiller, the son of current master distiller Fred Noe and the grandson of the legendary former master distiller Booker Noe. This pedigree ensures that each new Little Book release, like The Infinite: Edition 1, is uniquely impressive. This particular edition is a blend of aged bourbons that will incorporate a new component annually, creating a perpetual infinity blend.

This concept of an infinity blend parallels the solera method used in some whiskey and sherry production, where barrels are never fully emptied and are continually topped off with new spirit, maintaining a blend of different ages. The basis of The Infinite will remain consistent, but each year’s new whiskey addition will enhance and evolve the profile. “Working together as master distillers, my father and I are fortunate,” Noe remarked. “He always hoped to work closely with his father, my grandfather Booker, and this series honors that wish.” He further explained that Little Book The Infinite aims to build on this legacy, laying a multi-generational foundation for future iterations. Each year, Noe plans to bottle and share this evolving creation with the world.

For the inaugural release of Little Book the Infinite, four different whiskeys were blended together, each inspired by a different family member: 20-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon (Booker Noe’s component), 14-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon (Fred Noe’s component), seven-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon (Freddie’s component), and eight-year-old Kentucky straight bourbon (shared family component). The focus is still on the art of blending, as is the case with the Little Book series overall, but as mentioned before Noe will select a new whiskey to add for every future release. We have not been able to sample the Infinite yet, but official tasting notes describe different flavor components based on each whiskey: Booker’s brings notes of oak, char, and smoke; Fred’s provides dark fruit, cherry, and brown sweets; and Freddie’s offers caramel, vanilla, and spice. The whiskey was bottled at 59.65 percent ABV.

Little Book the Infinite: Edition 1 will be available to purchase nationwide, but it’s a pricy bottle at $200 a pop and is being released in limited numbers. You can also find past releases, like this year’s Path Not Taken blend of rye whiskeys, available to purchase from websites like Total Wine now.
