Little Book The Infinite Edition Whiskey Edition I
Little Book The Infinite Edition Whiskey Edition I
ââLittle Book The Infinite: Edition 1 is the brandâs first line extension and inaugural release. This edition blends four bourbons, three distilled by each generational Noe family distiller - son, father, and grandfather who are Beamâs 6th, 7th, and 8th generation master distillers - and one joint family component. For this initial batch, 70% of the blend was bottled, and the remaining 30% was put in tanks to prevent further aging. The tanked portion will form the foundation for what will become an annual release that builds upon the base blend, adding an additional component(s) and creating an ever-evolving âinfiniteâ whiskey blend.
A wave of cinnamon and dry dark chocolate is accented by underlying oak. It has some weight to it, along with ample spice that comes across as somewhat hot at first. As the ethanol rolls out of the glass, the whiskeyâs aroma opens up and becomes more expressive, giving way to dense caramel sweetness, dark fruits, and a hint of smoke. Itâs a big opening, which isnât immediately impressive, but develops into a rich introduction the more time you spend with it.
The sip is bold up front, with all of the whiskeyâs proof points working to create intensity at the onset. Baking spices combine with layers of rich caramel, graham cracker, and brown sugar. Aged oak, cinnamon, and vanilla custard weave in, adding dimension to the sipâs hefty mouthfeel. It has a familiar nutty Bookerâs Bourbon undertone, but doesnât taste exactly like a high aged Bookerâs. While itâs somewhat punchy upfront, the palate is thoroughly enjoyable once you get past the whiskeyâs initial wave of heat.
The bold palate inevitably leads to a long finish. Waves of brown sugar and caramel coincide with receding baking spices and punchy heat. An underlying nuttiness creeps in, providing contrast to the tapering spice. As the whiskeyâs flavors fade, it leaves a lasting impression.
