Hide Custom Address List from GAL Exchange 2010 SP2

Question

So, here is the scenario. 
I have a list of contacts that I only want 12 users to be able to see.  I have read up on the Address Book Policies, however, what I am REALLY wanting to do is to create an address list of the contacts, and hide THAT from the gal.  I could then
create a new GAL/Address Book Policy that includes the new address list of contacts, and essentially make the GAL + Contacts address list visible to that group of 12.
Is this possible?  It seems silly to apply a new Address Book Policy to 3000 users, would rather apply a new policy to the 12 users that need to see the contact info
