Last summer’s biggest hit was our private barrel of Codigo Rosa “Melissa’s Secret Stash” tequila. It was the first private barrel of the Rosa that the cherished distillery ever released. During that visit, I was able to negotiate a barrel of Codigo 1530 Reposado as well. They rolled out the red carpet and I was able to taste through 15! barrels to find the absolute gem of the bunch.
Codigo still makes their tequilas in the old fashioned Tahona method. This is where the agave is crushed under a giant volcanic stone (Tahona) .Most tequila houses have switched to a cheaper mechanical method. Usually the far more expensive Tahona method is reserved for Tequila’s twice this price.
I’m very excited to release this one and those of you who know me know that I don’t get excited very often. This one is different. This barrel was aged 6 months in a medium char barrel previously used for top quality Napa Cabernet. 90 proof (45% alc.) the nose has that wonderful cooked agave smell with honey suckle and vanilla. On the attack, fresh citrus, black pepper and roasted pineapple. I’m not sure if this one can go into Margaritas. Maybe if you get more than one bottle. What a treat.

I have good news and bad news about the Whistle Pig Double Malt Rye. The good news is I have it, but the bad news is I barely have any to go around. It’s the oldest Rye in the WhistlePig fleet, and is crafted from a mash bill of Rye, Malted Rye and Malted Barley. It’s finished in Spanish Sherry Casks, giving it a very robust and complex mouthfeel with wonderful peppery spice and loads of refinement that is meant to be enjoyed slowly and deliberately.
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
This is my third private barrel of Bourbon that I sourced from Bulleit and my first since 2022. Believe you me, they give you a ton (and I mean a ton) of samples to go through to make up for lost time. The winning combo is something people are going to love. Allow me to introduce you to Barrel #5-B3-82. 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 and graham cracker.
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.
