Ha! You thought Little Guide‘s “The Infinite” was the tip? Joke’s on you, loser! That’s why they referred to as it Version 1! (Or Version I, we aren’t solely 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 technology of the Noe clan — plus a “shared part.” Whereas the unique shared part was an nameless 8 yr previous whiskey, this yr’s shared is, in fact, the unique Infinite 1 launch. (This was all the time the idea behind this providing, by the way in which. I’m positive Infinite III will embody Infinite II as a core part.)
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 Guide The Infinite I
I don’t have any knowledge on what the “prolonged fermentation” of Freddie’s part entails, however maybe it speaks for itself. Let’s style.
Little Guide The Infinite: Version II (2025) Evaluate
As massive as Little Guide 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 quite a lot of Beam Suntory’s Baker’s line, which is usually 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 relatively 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 turning 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 — perhaps clove-flavored gum — and a smokiness that creeps into the combination grow 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 Guide… particularly The Infinite.
