Back in the day, I used to pick three barrels of Russell’s Reserve every year and offer them up to the Nicholas Wines faithful. Now, if I’m lucky, I get one barrel every three years. I kinda feel like I should drink this one out of a golden chalice.
These days, a private pick of Russell’s is the “Holy Grail” of the bourbon world. As you might imagine, my bar at home is well-stocked with my picks from over the years, but the bottle that I grab most often is my Russell’s #2. It’s just so dang good. I have heard the same thing from many of you who also consider it amongst your favorites. They told me this one was coming in for Christmas, but I guess they meant Easter. Either way, this juice is so rare, I am only selling 100 bottles of this selection and stashing the rest. I would suggest you grab two while you can!
During the pandemic, we would sell out of a year’s worth of bourbon in a month. As you well know, I’ve been struggling to restock them ever since. The bourbon shortage, the glass shortage, and all the logistical challenges haven’t helped the situation.
I love tasting with Eddie because he says he doesn’t get “warmed up” until barrel #50. Last time we tasted together, I think I bowed out around 100. Crazy thing is, we both ranked barrels separately and came up with the same exact top four. I definitely don’t mind having the same palate as that guy!

My tasting notes: Super creamy with flavors of toffee, vanilla, roasted pineapple & floral rye. The finish takes you on a ride that lasts over a minute.

Back in the day, Widow Jane used to be a staple at Nicholas Wines. But as its popular has gone crazy, it’s been tougher and tougher to get my hands on any. This is a hyper small batch bourbon that was aged for a minimum of thirteen years, non-chill filtered and proofed with Widow Jane’s signature limestone mineral water from the Rosendale Mines in New York. It’s a doozy of a bottle at 93 Proof and has notes of vanilla, nutmeg, graham cracker and sweet tobacco.
Today I snagged a really special single barrel that I have been working on for nearly two years now with Old Forester. It’s a 128.2 proof dynamo that will blow you away, and you’ll love every single sip. The nose is of fresh leather, baking spices & cocoa. On the pallet, this one is a monster & hits you with baked apple. brown sugar, vanilla & cinnamon. The finish goes on for two days long with notes of fig, cherries & clove. It’s big, but she’s a beauty.
This is a very rare single barrel Bourbon Whiskey to make its way to Jersey. Maple syrup, butterscotch, caramel & brown sugar with a palate of caramel apple, roasted almond, ripe banana and graham crackers. This one has a full mouthfeel with a nice creamy middle. The finish here lingers with just the right amount of burn. This was born on 2/3/2017 and bottled at 102 Proof. This is a great bottle of Whiskey.
Bulleit isn’t usually one to come out with too many new or limited releases, but the ‘Frontier’ Limited Release bucks that trend. This American Single Malt was made with 100% malted barley, aged in new American spiced oak casks, and bottled at 43% alcohol. It hits with notes of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, candied orange, dried fruits, and maple syrup. She’s a beauty – just wish I had more to sell!

This is special. Thanks for picking this barrel. Fantastic nose of molasses, toffee and vanilla and it all comes through on the.palate. Then a nice wave of medium heat leading to the rye spices to finish.
