New Spirit Releases - August 30, 2024 - Little Book, Parker's Heritage, and More!

The Infinite is the first in an expected limited edition annual series under the Little Book portfolio. Here, 8th generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe — aka Little Book — has blended Kentucky straight bourbon whiskeys he laid down along with those by his grandfather, Booker Noe and his father, Fred Noe. Each year new whiskey will be added to the blend, hence the name. Edition 1 includes: 20 year-old KSBW (Booker), 14 year-old KSBW (Fred), 7 year-old KSBW (Freddie), and 8 year-old KSBW (shared family blend). Bottled at 59.65% ABV, it's available in limited quantities nationwide beginning September 2024. (SRP $199.99)

The 18th Parker's Heritage edition was made in partnership with Master Blender Alain Royer. The bottling features a 14 year-old Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey (mash bill 65% malted barley, 35% corn) that was filled into 128 barrels in March 2009. The whiskey was then re-barreled into 56 larger, reconstructed cognac barrels featuring heavily toasted staves for an additional four months. Bottled at 107 proof without chill-filtration, it's available in limited quantities beginning September 2024. (SRP $169.99)

The Reserves is a new, limited edition annual series from Booker's Bourbon. This first release features a blend of Kentucky straight bourbons aged between 8-14 years-old, selected by 8th generation Master Distiller Freddie Noe. Eight bourbon batches from eight production dates and eight barrel warehouses are used in this release with the youngest batch at 8 years, 2 months, 12 days and the oldest at 14 years, 4 months, and 16 days. Like other Booker's Bourbon batches released four times a year, this is bottled uncut and unfiltered. However, The Reserves batches will use fewer and older barrels in the blend. Bottled at 125.9 proof, The Reserves 2024 is available in limited quantities nationwide beginning September 2024. (SRP $129.99)

This second Sour Mash Single Malt from New Riff features the same mash bills comprised of 100% malted barley varietals as the first — Golden Promise, Maris Otter, Scottish peated barley malt and two beer-inspired mash bills based on Barleywine and Belgian Quadrupel recipes. But while the former used barrels aged 7-8 years, this bottling features 9 year-old barrels along with Madeira cask aged malt whiskey. It's bottled without chill-filtration at 114.5 proof. Available at the distillery's gift shop August 30, 2024 with online and retail availability to follow shortly after. (SRP $69.99)

It's bottled at barrel proof. Availability is extremely limited with sales limited to Kentucky only beginning September 7, 2024. (SRP $189)
