Little Book
$119.99
Created by eighth generation Beam distiller Freddie Noe, Chapter 2 of Little Book is an off-the-wall blend of American and Canadian Whiskies. This is the first of the Little Book line of limited edition bottles to come to Alberta. The blend consists of:
- 13-year-old Canadian Rye at 111.9 Proof (likely from Alberta Distillers of Calgary, Alberta)
- 8-year-old Kentucky Straight Rye at 119.8 proof (possibly what would be used for Knob Creek Rye?
- 40-year-old, 100% Corn Canadian Whisky at 137.8 proof (Canadian Club 40?)
This combination is a result of a Canada trip Freddie Noe made to visit Beam Suntory's Canadian labels and properties (Alberta Distillers right here in Calgary as well as the Canadian Club headquarters in Windsor, Ontario) All of this is blended together and bottled at 118.8 proof, or 59.9% ABV.
Distiller's Tasting Note
Aroma: Caramel with soft spice and dried fruit notes.
Taste: Full bodied blend of seasoned Oak, spice and vanilla notes with hints of cinnamon.
Finish: Slightly lingering with a warm spice finish
Freddie Noe's Note: "As the name implies, this round of Little Book was a long journey that really tested my skills as a blender. Maybe I jinxed myself naming my first batch “the Easy.” Superstitions aside, I spent a lot of time in the lab on this one. I tried almost forty different recipes. But in the end, all that hard work paid off and we landed on a one-of-a-kind whiskey I’m really proud of."
"The road to Noe Simple Task started when I visited our Canadian distilleries in early 2017. I enjoy travelling to different places in the world to see how they distill their spirits. There, I was able to taste some great Canadian whisky straight out of the barrel. I was really drawn to the fruit and floral notes they achieve. I wanted to know more."
"Later in the year I went back for a deeper dive to learn all about their process. And taste some more great whisky. This was a step outside my comfort zone. The rules and laws for making whiskey in Kentucky that I grew up with don’t apply up there. But I came back inspired and began blending."
"Now, while the flavors of the Canadian whisky had piqued my interest, my heart still lies in Kentucky. So I was excited about the idea of bringing the best of both worlds together. Knowing I wanted to blend with Kentucky Straight Rye, I started experimenting with different Canadian whiskies, trying to pull in those fruity and floral notes. They use a lot of different barrels to age up there, so I was able to play around with a lot of different flavors. I was looking for something that would round out the blend and really showcase the nuances of both the American and Canadian whiskies. In the end, I found the 40-year-old whisky and 13-year-old rye helped me achieve exactly what I wanted—a truly balanced and refined whiskey with a nice, lingering finish that’s full of flavor."
Ezra Brooks Kentucky Straight Bourbon
$31.99
Quintessential Kentucky Straight Bourbon, just the way we like it: big and bold!
Ezra Brooks KSB is a heavily-awarded Kentucky bourbon which has only recently relocated to Bardstown and set up shop with their 43 foot custom copper still. The location may be new, but this is the same ol' juice you've known and loved since the 1950s. A triple mashbill of corn, rye and (just a little) barley means this one is a sweet and spicy treat and pretty much what you'd expect for a rye-heavy bourbon. The 45% abv only serves to amplify the flavour nuances.
Producer Tasting Note
Caramel and vanilla with hints of spice and chocolate for a smooth, warm finish.

Panel's tasting note: "Some panellists went corybantic-crazy for this (not sure they’ve recovered yet!) – the nose bursts with brandy snaps, banoffee pie, juniper berries, cinnamon and liquorice – one panellist imagined playing cards in a mahogany-panelled speakeasy with a gangster’s moll (living dangerously!). The palate was dry as wood shavings, with burnt orange, black tea, cinnamon bark, cloves, dried figs, cherries, marzipan, dark chocolate, honey and well-torched crème brûlée.
The reduced nose developed all the polished leather of a rodeo and the Tiger Balm muscle rub required after one. The palate now found clove and orange pomanders, cherry brandy, peppermint and astringent wood – quite an experience!"
