Little Book Chapter 9 “None For Granted” Blended Straights, 60.9%

This latest chapter in the series brings together 7, 8, and 11 year old bourbon with an 8 year old rye, with blender Freddie Noe aiming for the “founding flavors” of American whiskey. The nose is redolent with cinnamon, apples, blueberries, blackberries, and caramel. The palate is oakier, with barrel char adding depth to brown sugar, peach, and toffee flavors. The finish is long and luxurious, with more cinnamon, brown sugar, and toasted oak.
