This one comes from Casa San Matía a distillery with over 130 years of history operating in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico. They have long been a serious player, known for their uncompromising approach to crafting the best tequila. They’re lead by Carmen Villarreal who has has worked closely with the expert craftswomen and men of Casa San Matías for decades, honoring traditions while also spending big bucks in order to make the excellent Corazón tequilas that they do.
Crazy enough, this one actually comes from a barrel I picked out in 2020. It actually fell off my radar after months and months of not receiving it – I guess I just assumed it was a casualty of the pandemic and would eventually be worked out.
Unbeknownst to me, in it rolled last week – my own numbered single barrel – bottled and labeled with the crisp Nicholas Reserve name over the super rare green Reposado label. I’m not even sure they’re making this anymore, but if they are – I promise the price is nowhere near the deal I locked into pre-pandemic. Talk about timing too – right in time for cinco de mayo and spring. This is the perfect Tequila to drink by itself neat, on the rocks or even part of a cocktail, as it’s totally delicious but also available at a super juice price.

Like all of my single barrels, please don’t confuse this with the “regular” bottling. This is nothing like it in terms of depth of flavor and overall quality.

This is definitely one of the most unique private barrels of bourbon you’re gonna find anywhere and it comes from our friends at in Kirby at Wyoming Whiskey. It’s been two years since we’ve had this baby! They make their own whiskey in-house instead of getting it shipped to them and finishing it. In doing so, they use winter wheat to churn out a medium length whiskey with notes of honey, burnt sugar, cinnamon and caramel on the finish. It’s sensational – but I only have 120 bottles from this barrel to offer up.
Gold Medal (Best in Show), 2023 Mundus Vini International Tasting
The area has also been isolated from the rest of Spain for generations, which has kept the wine prices far lower than wines of this quality would be anywhere else in the world. That’s why, despite having the Torres family name on the bottle and the consistent huge press (including the Gold Medal & Best in Show at the 2023 Mundus Vini International Wine Awards in Germany), these wines can still be scooped up for under $20/bottle. It’s like the Sancerre pricing of yesteryear.
Every year, Pierre Sparr’s Alsacian Riesling is one of the top scoring wines in the under $20 category. There’s a consistency there and consumers know they can count on a Riesling that is aromatic, fruity, elegant, clean and vibrant. Pierre Sparr wines are extremely food-friendly especially in the widely praised 2021 vintage where quality rose to an all-time high. It’s a bone-dry beauty with layers of citrus fruits, framed by wet stone and mineral character that adds dimension.
94 Points (#12 Whiskey of the Year), Whisky Advocate
“At the helm for Blue Run Spirits’ whiskeys are whiskey director Shaylyn Gammon and liquid advisor Jim Rutledge, who demonstrate their mastery with this blend of three Kentucky bourbons aged 6, 8, and 9 years. Oatmeal raisin cookies and tropical aromas dominate the nose, though dried pineapple is soon overtaken by cinnamon spice, vanilla bean, and grape jelly. The palate is rich with flavors of chocolate and espresso, then playful notes of raspberry syrup. Flourless chocolate cake, more fruit, and a good deal of heat make for a tantalizing finish.”
