Blade & Bow has a very interesting story. The idea for the brand was born from barrels tucked away from the old Stitzel Weller distillery. That name probably sounds familiar because its where Pappy Van Winkle originally came from. If you have a Pappy from the Stitzel Weller distillery than you are sitting on a down payment on a house. It’s also where the orphan barrels were found to make Jeffersons 17 yr Presidential. Going into their warehouses to grab barrels must have been like going in to a goldmine. Blade & Bow still has barrels from the distillery that they use to blend in to their Straight Bourbon.
Is it Pappy or is it Jeffersons Presidential? It’s actually a little bit of both. Those are the patriarch and matriarch for these barrels. They have this pretty unique process to make it all happen called the Solera Aging System where no barrel is every fully drained from Stitzel so some of the most amazing whiskey blends ever are just kept in barrel — there for the future blending. It’s like getting a racing horse today from the Seabiscuit bloodline. You’re paying for some pretty good genes!
Aged in new charred American white oak barrels, this bourbon offers up aromas of fresh oranges and peaches with pear, freshly baked bread and some toasted grain. Everything comes together harmoniously, it’s a really seamless blend. On the finish, notes of charred oak, s’mores and winter spices and a slight but inviting burn that comes with this 91 Proof gem.

#1 Whisky of the Year (2023) – Whisky Advocate
“Our annual Top 20 Whiskies list is always filled with A-list names, along with a few lesser-knowns that make the grade. But it’s unusual for one of the latter to outshine the entire field, yet that’s precisely what happened this year, as Whisky Advocate’s panelists plucked a relative unknown from a group of big-name contenders. As we tasted, little did we know there was an upset in the making. Winning in a nearly unanimous vote, single malt scotch Glenglassaugh Sandend became our 2023 Whisky of the Year.” -Whisky Advocate
The juice here is so pure and elegant, it tastes much more like a $80/bottle of Tequila than one going for half the price, but that’s why I love these single barrel deals so much. The value is insane. This Reposado spent just under 12 months in used bourbon barrels. Golden brown with fresh agave, oak & vanilla. Remarkably smooth finish. This is one of those oddball tequila’s that is good enough to just sip on the rocks but cheap enough to use to make one hell of a margarita.
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
Everybody in the whiskey world knows Baker’s. They have one heck of a reputation. They only make one two things their 7 year and the 13-year, and their 7-year single barrel straight Bourbon just means it is aged for at least 7 years. I was just allocated 18 bottles, and ours is special – it happens to be aged 8 years and 1 month! Bottled at the signature 107 Proof, this is a flat-out delicious bottle of bourbon from the distillery that makes no two barrels alike. This one hits with notes of Toffee, caramel, peanuts and black pepper. The mouthfeel is full and distinct with dried fruits joining the party and a smooth, lengthy finish.
