Freddie Noe, Eighth Generation Master Distiller of the Fred B. Noe Distillery, announced the sixth installment in his annual, limited-release series: Little Book Chapter 6: “To The Finish.”

The name of this year’s chapter is inspired by Noe’s passion for both whiskey-making and cooking, and more specifically, his curiosity for how flavors come together to complement each other.

Noe uses the traditional method of smoking hardwoods to create different aromas and flavors in food, and he’s applied that same method to the whiskey-making process, using unique wood staves and barrel techniques for Chapter 6. This process brings different characteristics together to create a final blend that has a perfect balance of flavors.

“To The Finish” is a blend of five liquids all distilled under Noe’s eye. The 4-year-old Straight Malt Whiskey liquid streams all start as the same American Single Malt Whiskey but are aged separately with different wood staves and barrel techniques to impart a unique taste profile. Once the liquids are individually dumped, they are blended back together in different ratios before a 5-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon is added to create the final blend.

The four straight 4-year malt whiskeys used in Little Book “To The Finish” were individually finished with cherrywood staves, in hickory-smoked barrels, with maplewood staves and in applewood-smoked barrels; The 5-year straight bourbon is added to round out the blend, at the finished product is bottled at 117.45 proof.

“To The Finish” is now available nationwide in limited quantities with a suggested retail price of $124.99 for a 750mL bottle. For more information about Little Book “To The Finish” and Noe’s work as Master Distiller of the Fred B. Noe Distillery, please visit: www.littlebookwhiskey.com.
