Little Book® Chapter 9, “None for Granted” pays homage to the founding flavors that made modern American Whiskey. Freddie's Note None for Granted” is my way of paying homage to the founding flavors that made modern American Whiskey. Chapter 9 takes us back several decades, to an era when whiskey as we know it was just finding its feet. As possibilities were explored and foundations were laid, a certain profile began to emerge: one built on brown sweets, the comforting warmth of vanilla, creamy caramel and big oak. None for Granted” celebrates these founding flavors: the ones that are still the backbone of American Whiskey today. After experimenting with several blends, we landed the profile. Five unique whiskeys blended into a viscous, golden liquid. Each pass of the nose and every sip brings out another layer: Ripe apple. Butterscotch. Baking spice. And plenty others you’ll discover for yourself. I and countless others wouldn’t be making the whiskey we’re making without the flavors captured in Chapter 9 – the profile pioneered at the start of modern American Whiskey. It’s worth revisiting time and again, never to be taken for granted.
