You know the moment Bulleit opened up their brand new distillery, I was angling to get in first. Their new place is absolutely insane. I was blown away when I went in January. Bulleit must have been making a fortune over the last few years to afford this place. I’m telling you a tour of this place is 100% necessary if you’re ever down in Kentucky. (I included some shots from my trip, check em’ out.)
Bulleit uses multiple mash bills & yeast strains (pictured in the gallery) that they blend together to make their bourbons. I was lucky enough to get to taste through the entire lot of them blind & then pull my top five barrels to pick from.
This is my third private barrel of Bourbon but my first in nearly two years. It has super inviting notes of fresh baked, spiced bread & caramel. This is a 7-year old single-barrel beauty & was bottled at 104 Proof even if it even feels a little warmer on the attack. Add in some tasty oaky vanilla overtones and creme brulee, brown butter and you’re cooking with dynamite but everything comes together so smooth and deliciously.

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.
There’s no better vintage to lock into a Cakebread Cabernet Sauvignon than 2021. The winery, like the majority of their neighbors in the Napa Valley had a banner year for all varietals but Cab in particular. Cakebread’s 2021 t is every bit as good as I remember this wine being. It’s dark garnet to the rim, with a plethora of inviting aromas of black and blueberries, creme de cassis and Black Forest cake with some dried fruit and herbal notes. It’s a full-bodied beauty that should have 15-25 years of aging, but is already flashing so much in its youth.
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.
The third release of three batches from Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-03 ‘Might Fine Batch.’ These mini-releases have become extremely popular, and for good reason. “The vanilla and brown sugar sweet notes come through very well from the white oak barrels this bourbon aged in for over seven years. The taste is great and full bodied; when I added a splash of water, it opened up some great flavors, with a finish that gives a lovely “Kentucky Hug. My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s.” -Fred Noe
