🛠️ Concept & Craftsmanship

• Curated by eighth‑generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe, this ninth annual installment of the experimental Little Book series celebrates the core "founding flavors" of modern American whiskey—vanilla, caramel, brown sweets, and deep oak 

• Blended from five aged straight whiskeys distilled in Kentucky: 11‑year‑old bourbon, an 8‑year rye, another 8‑year bourbon (with a brown‑rice mash), and two 7‑year bourbons, including one from an extended (5‑day vs. typical 3‑day) fermentation 

👃 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep copper with golden highlights 

• Nose: Ripe apple, butterscotch, baking spices, green apple gummy, peach rings, maraschino cherry, dark caramel, and subtle barrel char 

• Palate: Rich and multi-layered—brown sugar, vanilla bean, creamy caramel, butterscotch, molasses, cinnamon buns, white-chocolate peppermint bark, minty clove spice, apple, and caramelized baked fruit

🔥 Finish

• Long and warming, with toasted oak, hazelnut, dark chocolate tannins, cinnamon, rye spice, and a lingering sweetness 

⭐ Reception & Value

• Praised by whiskey fans as “Bourbon Bottle of the Year” and “incredible… worth it” in r/whiskey
