Little Book
Chapter 3: The Road Home
(0.75l,
61.3%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
Freddie Noe is the grandson of Whiskey legend Booker Noe. Booker gave Freddie the nickname “Little Book” and Freddie has lent that name to an annual limited edition release from Jim Beam’s premium lineup. Each is intended to be a blend of premium Bourbons and Rye Whiskies from Beam-Suntory’s various warehouses along with contributions from partner distilleries around North America.
We last wrote about the “Little Book” special editions in early 2019. And as the name implies, Little Book Chapter 3: The Road Home is the third in this series of limited releases, and boy-howdy it’s a good one. I’ve got to admit, this is right up my alley and after tasting it I am going to take a few bottles home for myself. Jim Beam has four brands in their Small Batch Bourbon Collection. Chapter 3 samples from each to create one of the best Bourbon blends we’ve tasted. Get this — it’s a mix of 9 YO Knob Creek, nine yo Basil Hayden’s, an 11 YO Booker’s and a 12 YO Baker’s. All of that Bourbon royalty is bottled uncut and unfiltered at 61.3% ABV. It’s like a blended banquet table in Bourbon heaven.

This gorgeous dram has great body and mouth-feel caressing the palate with notes of stewed pears, english toffee, hot oak, and toasted spice cake.
Finish
The finish is like adult candy — not too sweet, warm, and comforting.

Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.
Bourbon was declared "The Official Spirit of America" by an Act of Congress signed by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964.
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.
Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

Bourbon rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
Bourbon must be made from a grain mixture that is at least 51% corn.
Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
