LITTLE BOOK CHAPTER 10: ‘‘ALL THE WISER’’ (2026)
TASTING NOTES
FREDDIE'S NOTE
Ten whole chapters of Little Book, and through every one of them, I’ve learned something new. Back in the beginning, I looked at blends differently, focusing on percentages and “perfection”. The whiskey sure tasted good, but I had a feeling I was missing out on something bigger. So, I set out on a journey to see what the whiskey could teach me. Each release a milestone along the way.
From one blend to the next, my know-how grew. But I found something else to be just as important: an instinct to listen to the whiskey. Because no matter how sure I am of the profile I want to get to - the whiskey has its own plans. So now, I don’t push it towards one specific outcome. I guide it, and I let it guide me. With every Chapter, I’ve gotten more at ease with the push and pull.
Chapter 10 is only possiblebecause of what I gleaned from the chapters before it. Made up of aged expressions from our celebrated Small Batch collection to our iconic Jim Beam finished in sherry and toasted bourbon casks, this blend could have gone in any direction. But with expertise, intuition, and plenty of flexibility, we got it exactly where it needed to be.
