2026 Release.
Chapter 10. All The Wiser
Finished in sherry and toasted bourbon casks
Little Book Chapter 10 “All the Wiser” is the 10th release in the brand’s Chapter line, and it pays respect to Little Book Chapter 3: “The Road Home” and the company’s Small Batch Collection. Chapter 03 was a blend of bourbons: 9-year-old Knob Creek, 9-year-old Basil Hayden, 11-year-old Booker's, and 12-year-old Baker's. Like Chapter 10, that blend was bottled uncut at 122.6 proof. For the current release, Master Distiller Freddie Noe takes the same approach but shuffles the age of each component, while also throwing in a finished component. The result is a blend of 11-year-old Knob Creek, 14-year-old Basil Hayden, 10-year-old Booker's, 9-year-old Baker's, and 4-year-old Jim Beam finished in sherry and toasted casks. Chapter 10 is also bottled at 122.6 proof.
By refreshing the ages of the blended components, which increases the overall age by 3 years, and adding in a 4-year-old sherry and toasted finished bourbon, the results speak for themselves. Little Book Chapter 10 is rich in all the right ways, without being overly proof-forward as Chapter 3 was.
