On Tuesday, the James B. Beam Distilling Company announced the latest installment in its highly sought-after Little Book series: Chapter 8, “Path Not Taken.”
This drop within the annual collection — which was launched by eighth-generation master distiller Freddie Noe in 2017 as a tribute to the art of blending — explores the future of American rye. Rye is strongly tied to the beginning of American whiskey with over two centuries of heritage, and according to the brand, “Path Not Taken” aims to show there are still stories to be uncovered in the category.
