Little Book Chapter 03: The Road Home Year 2019

The Road Home batch pays tribute to my grandfather as the name Little Book is actually the childhood nickname that he gave me. And so I thought after having a couple of chapters under my belt that it would be a great time to pay honor to him and blend some of the liquids that he gave the bourbon industry. The four liquids that I chose to go into this batch of Little Book are from the original small batch collection that my grandfather, Booker, created.

The Road Home is a blend of nine year old Basil Hayden, nine year old Knob Creek, 11 year old Bookers and 12 year old Bakers, and as always with Little Book, these liquids are at barrel strength and will be bottled at barrel strength as well. The name The Road Home references the road that I travel to and from on a regular basis, the same road my grandfather, Booker, traveled back when he used to work here at the distillery. – Freddie Noe, 8th Generation Beam Family Distiller
