Ha! You thought Little E book‘s “The Infinite” was the tip? Joke’s on you, loser! That’s why they known as it Version 1! (Or Version I, we aren’t completely positive. It’s Roman numerals now.)
The Infinite returns this vacation season with The Infinite Version II, which is much more infinite than the final Infinite. As with Infinite I, Infinite II is constructed round a mix of 4 whiskeys, one from every era of the Noe clan — plus a “shared element.” Whereas the unique shared element was an nameless 8 12 months previous whiskey, this 12 months’s shared is, after all, the unique Infinite 1 launch. (This was all the time the idea behind this providing, by the best way. I’m positive Infinite III will embody Infinite II as a core element.)
Right here’s what you’re getting within the mix:
• Booker Noe’s Part – Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – Aged 22 years
• Fred Noe’s Part – Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey – Aged 10 years
• Freddie Noe’s Part – Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (Prolonged Fermentation) – Aged 7 years
• Shared Household Part – Little E book The Infinite I
I don’t have any information on what the “prolonged fermentation” of Freddie’s element entails, however maybe it speaks for itself. Let’s style.
Little E book The Infinite: Version II (2025) Evaluation
As large as Little E book Infinite #1 was, I final really feel like #2 is much more highly effective and unbridled. Outlined from the get-go by its overwhelming fruitiness, this jogs my memory numerous Beam Suntory’s Baker’s line, which is often lush with cherry notes. Right here, these cherries are balanced on the nostril by a punch of peach and baked apple, slathered in extra-dark caramel and butterscotch. Chocolate notes right here meander towards the slightly darkish, with cinnamon grated throughout the highest. It’s bombastic and aggressive, however completely partaking.
The palate feels fruity and a bit winey, with black, macerated cherry notes changing into extra amplified with time in glass. Chocolate is a continuing, with ample vanilla and baking spice backing it up. Once more, extra butterscotch, then a ending layer of apple butter. Touches of cloves — possibly clove-flavored gum — and a smokiness that creeps into the combination turn out to be all-encompassing, the end clinging to baking spice and layers of vanilla.
No complaints with this whiskey, supplied you’re down with one thing bigger than life — which has all the time been on the menu with Little E book… particularly The Infinite.
