Booker’s The Reserves 2026 and Little Book The Infinite Edition III Arrive

James B. Beam Distilling Co. put two Freddie Noe limited releases on the 2026 calendar in mid-September: Booker’s The Reserves 2026 and Little Book The Infinite, Edition III.

Booker’s The Reserves 2026 is a Kentucky straight rye finished in apple brandy barrels and infused with cinnamon — a nod to Booker Noe’s “A.B.C. Wassail.” Age statement: 6 years, 2 months, and 23 days. Proof: 125.1. Suggested retail: $129.99. Official notes lean apple, caramel, vanilla, charred oak, and cinnamon. It’s only the second rye in the Booker’s line after 2016’s Big Time Batch, and the third chapter of The Reserves series launched in 2024.

Little Book The Infinite, Edition III blends bourbons distilled by three Noe-generation Master Distillers — Booker, Fred, and Freddie — at 118.3 proof for $199.99 suggested. The story on the pour: oak, smoke, and char from Booker’s whiskey; caramel, vanilla, and butterscotch from Fred’s; tobacco and dark fruit from Freddie’s.

Both are limited nationwide allocations from the Suntory Global Spirits American whiskey portfolio — collector math with a family tree attached.
