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.
Over the last few years, I’ve been trying to purchase our own 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. I tasted through 25 barrels that were specially set aside for me by Bo Beckman who is the only guy in the private barrel program.
This barrel had a deep a golden color with a complex nose of vanilla, mint and molasses. On the palate it is sweet with notes of brown sugar and fall spice that give way to oak, toffee, & dark fruit. The finish is long and smooth with serious depth.

We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
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.
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
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!
