Bourbon Buyers Club Exclusive
There are few distilleries that garner as much attention as Buffalo Trace at the restaurant. It’s the number one requested bourbon at our bar by far and has been since open.
Over the last few years, I’ve been trying to purchase my second barrel but getting a Nicholas Barrel Reserve at Buffalo Trace is only slightly easier than getting my own barrel of Pappy. The distillery is one of the oldest distilleries in Kentucky and is the place where Pappy Van Winkle, Blanton’s, George T. Stagg, E.H. Taylor, Elmer T. Lee & Weller are made (just to name a few). Private tours are almost non existent and landing a visit to select your own barrel happen about as often as a New York Giant victory.
Buffalo Trace lives up to the hype though. I am blown away that they can sell a bourbon that is 8 years old at this quality level for such a fair price. Bo Beckman (private barrel director) and I tasted through 22 barrels that were specially set aside for me. I’m so excited by what I picked out, I know you’re going to love it.
This Exclusively picked by Nicholas in a trip down to the distillery in Kentucky- this is the only private label Buffalo Trace single barrel sold in New Jersey. On the palate it is sweet with notes of brown sugar and fall spice that give way to oak, toffee, and dark fruit. The finish is long and smooth with serious depth.
*As a little bit of a thank you to us for our patience, I got a 750ml price for 1L of Bourbon. I’m passing those savings down to you.*

Rich and creamy notes of toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, and fresh baked Bundt cake immediately flood the sense’s as soon as you pop this one open. Bottled at 100-Proof, you get a little bit of heat on the front palate followed by rich oak, leather and freshly baked bread. As it starts to open, you get some sweeter, creamy vanilla notes that cream in as well as campfire s’mores and a dash of pepper. The finish is long, and a bit spicy which leaves a memorable aftertaste and leaves you wanting more.

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.
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
