2025 Little Book "Chapter 9 - None for Granted" Blended Straight Whiskey

Notes

The ninth release in Freddie Noe’s ambitious Little Book series is titled “None For Granted,” a tribute to the legacy of his family and the evolution of American whiskey blending. Like earlier installments, it marries mature stocks from the vast Beam warehouses in a way that feels both experimental and deeply rooted in Kentucky tradition. For this chapter, Noe leans into a trio of distinct straight whiskies including an older bourbon, a bold rye, and the innovative brown rice bourbon that has become a signature component of the series. Bottled at barrel strength just over 121 proof, it is a whiskey that commands attention yet shows the finesse that makes these limited editions so compelling. The style leans robust and spice-forward, with layers of sweet grain and oak underpinning the structure, offering a balance that rewards both collectors and drinkers. Fans of the series will find this to be one of the most complete and confident entries yet, a whiskey that respects its heritage while pushing the boundaries of what blending at Beam can achieve.
