Bottling Notes

Little Book is an ongoing annual release curated by Freddie Noe, eighth generation Beam family member and son of current Beam master distiller, Fred Noe and grandson of original Booker’s legend, Booker Noe.

We’re thrilled to include the Little Book Chapter 2 ‘Noe Simple Task’ on to our virtual shelves that is in stock and exclusively available here at The Old Barrelhouse.

Fittingly named “Noe Simple Task,” it’s a complex blended whiskey that took nearly twice as long to create than the inaugural Chapter 1 release, hence the name. This expression comes with a Canadian twist with the three components making up the blend: an 8-year-old Kentucky straight rye whiskey (at 119.8 proof), a 40-year-old Canadian whisky (at 137.8 proof) and a 13-year-old Canadian rye whisky (at 111.9 proof) all uncut and bottled at barrel strength.

Freddie Noe comments;
“As the name implies, creating the newest blend was a long journey that really tested my skills as a blender. I needed to be very careful with the proportions to get the recipe just right. I created nearly 40 different blends before I finally decided that blend number 29 would become Little Book ‘Noe Simple Task.’ It took longer this go-around than it did for Little Book ‘The Easy,’ but in the end, all that hard work paid off and we landed on a one-of-a-kind whiskey I’m really proud of.”
