Little Book Edition I, “The Infinite,” marks the first step in an extraordinary journey of innovation and craftsmanship. As the inaugural edition of this evolving series, it sets the foundation for the infinity barrel—a blend that will grow and transform year by year. Created by Freddie Noe, 8th Generation Master Distiller, this whiskey is more than just a bottle; it’s a living tribute to the Noe family’s legacy of bourbon mastery.

“The Infinite” stands as the first chapter in this legacy—a celebration of the artistry passed through three generations of Noe family Master Distillers: Booker Noe, Fred Noe, and Freddie Noe. Each year, a new whiskey will be added to this blend, delivering a unique sensory experience while expanding the boundaries of bourbon blending.

• Booker’s Legacy: Bold notes of oak, char, and smoke lay the groundwork.
• Fred’s Contribution: Layers of dark fruit, cherry, and brown sweets enrich the profile.
• Freddie’s Touch: Caramel, vanilla, and baking spices add a vibrant, contemporary flair.

The result is a whiskey that’s perfectly balanced yet utterly distinctive—a taste of the Noe family’s heritage and innovation in every sip.

Experience the story. Savor the tradition. Look forward to the next chapter, and find your bottle of Little Book at Royal Batch.

LITTLE BOOK TO THE FINISH

FREDDIE'S NOTE

Little Book Chapter 6, “To The Finish,” is the sixth chapter in the Little Book Whiskey series. “To The Finish” offers a chance for any curious whiskey drinker to expand their palate - both seasoned connoisseurs and newcomers alike. The name of this year’s chapter offers fans of American whiskey an opportunity to experience liquid that I personally had a hand in creating and showcases the innovation of Little Book chapters over the last six years.

Little Book Chapter 6 is a blend of five different liquid streams using different wood staves and barrel techniques that impart a unique liquid profile due to the secondary aging. This chapter continues to push the boundaries of blending and challenges what some might assume of lower aged whiskies. The way these liquid streams complement each other makes this liquid extremely approachable, even for those who haven’t given cask strength whiskey a try.

The inspiration for Chapter 6 came from combining two of my passions – cooking and whiskey. The way they complement each other and come together is what sparked my curiosity for “To The Finish”. Using the smoke and flavor of hardwoods, I am able to bring together timeless tools from the culinary trade into pioneering my work with American Whiskey. The result is a taste that’s bigger than its individual parts. A flavor made from generations of curing, grilling and distilling.

For the Noe family, the kitchen has always been a home away from the distillery and a way to share family traditions between generations. My granddaddy spent hours in the smokehouse practicing his craft and curing meats. My dad’s passion was reinvigorated once I was old enough to tag along. Dad enjoyed teaching me about this family tradition and working to perfect granddaddy’s sausage recipe – he always thought it needed a bit more sage. My personal passion is around family and cooking, looking into the details of what works and what doesn’t. These traditions around family meals, shared traditions, and my pursuits at the grill inspire my own work in the rackhouse and they’ve been poured into Little Book Chapter 6.
