A Blend of Barrels Distilled by Booker, Fred & Freddie
In the Fred B. Noe distillery at the James B. Beam Distilling Co.’s Clermont campus, Freddie Noe was experimenting with blending varying aged whiskeys, when he sought to blend barrels his father, Fred Noe, and grandfather, Booker Noe, laid down, resulting in a perfectly balanced profile forming ‘The Infinite’. Each year, new whiskey will be added to the blend, delivering an ever-evolving confluence of artistry for a unique experience while pushing the boundaries of flavor and tradition. It’s this initial, proprietary blend that sets the series apart from other Little Book chapters.
A Multigenerational Liquid – Little Book The Infinite: Edition 1
“My father and I are lucky enough to work together, side by side as Master Distillers, and I know he always dreamed of that with his own father, my Grandaddy Booker,” shared Freddie Noe, 8th Generation Master Distiller. “This new series pays tribute to that dream and inspired the first Edition of Little Book ‘The Infinite’, a multigenerational liquid that will form the foundation of all future releases. Once a year, I’ll bottle some up for the world to try. So, savor this whiskey today, and come back in a year for its next evolution.”
The Components
Little Book The Infinite: Edition 1 includes the following liquids:
- Booker Noe’s Component: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Aged 20 years
- Fred Noe’s Component: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Aged 14 years
- Freddie Noe’s Component: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Aged 7 years

Little Book started in 2012 when Fred asked Freddie if he wanted to join the family business. Without hesitation, Freddie said yes, embarking on a journey through distillery operations and discovering a fascination with blending different aged spirits. This passion for tinkering and innovation led to the creation of Little Book®, a nickname given to Freddie growing up by Booker.
