Jim Beam Little Book Chapter 10 Blends Small Batch Collection

other · 2026-05-17

Freddie Noe, the eighth-generation master distiller at Jim Beam, has unveiled Little Book Chapter 10: All the Wiser. This release features a combination of the entire Small Batch Collection, along with a four-year-old bourbon finished in sherry and toasted bourbon casks. The blend comprises 14-year-old Basil Hayden, 11- and nine-year-old Knob Creek, 10-year-old Booker's, nine-year-old Baker's, and the finished Jim Beam bourbon, bottled at 122.6 proof. While this edition mirrors Chapter 3: The Road Home, it introduces an additional element and modifies the ages. Launched in 2017 to honor his grandfather Booker Noe, the proportions of the blend remain undisclosed. Critics acclaim it as one of the finest in the series, which prioritizes experimentation over consistency.
