Nothing will ever beat having Baker Beam make me his favorite lunch in his own kitchen. Wow was this an episode out of fear factor. I’m usually adventurous but I had 3 things that I’ve never eaten before. Baker is a soft spoken true Kentucky legend but he laughed his ass off at my reaction . At least I got to taste some pretty killer bourbon.
Baker is now in his mid 80’s and has long since retired from being the master distiller at his grand uncle’s distillery Jim Beam. You also may know his fist cousin Booker. Do any of these name’s ring a bell yet?? Baker’s is by far the smallest & most dear Of Beams “top 4” ; Knob Creek, Basil Hayden’s, Booker’s & Baker’s.
Baker releases 2 age statement bourbons, 7 year & 13 year old, both at 107 proof. That doesn’t mean it necessarily is 7 year old, just that it’s at least 7. The six bottles I was just allotted from the distillery actually come in at 8 years and 1 month. This is a special Bourbon release as always- rare and delicous.

Let Nicholas be your personal sommelier for every season! Four times a year, Nicholas Wines will ship to your door four different varietals (3 bottles each). All hand-picked specifically for Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.
Now they’re coming in hot! This is my second private barrel that I sourced from my January trip down to Kentucky. My trip down there was super fruitful as I got to pick out two different barrels. Believe you me, we went through a lot of samples to make up for lost time. The winning combo is something people are going to love. It’s smooth and layered, with a full creamy mouthfeel and manages to sneak in at 104 Proof. On the nose, I get fresh cut oak, vanilla and brown butter. On the palate, freshly baked banana bread, burnt orange creme brulee and graham cracker.
For my money, this might be both the best Whiskey under $50 and the most criminally under-priced Whiskey (not that I’m complaining). Whiskey Advocate has named this one to their 7 best under $60/bottlings, but as you can see this checks in way below. This small batch bourbon is made from barrels picked by father and son master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell. It’s as smooth as can be and jampacked with notes of caramel, vanilla, rye spice and burnt orange peel. Bottled at 90 Proof, this one leaves a nice, warm Kentucky hug that lingers nicely on the back palate.

It’s no stretch to call Insignia a first growth of Napa Valley wine. Its track record of huge scores and incredible longevity speak for themselves. The 2018 Phelps Insignia is one of the finest, highest rated renditions yet! Every single reviewer that got their hands on it came up with a huge score for it- cementing its place as one of the greats. James Suckling called it one of the best ever. There’s just so much to like. Perfectly structured and featuring immense power, exuberance and balance. This one will age longer than all of us, and do it with grace. This is a collector’s item you don’t want to miss.
