I had so many unforgettable experiences on my last trip to Kentucky but the one that stands out the most was getting to taste through the Wild Turkey rickhouses with Eddie. We had a great afternoon and I get the feeling that I might have even earned a click of respect from him after I passed all his “tasting tests.” He even let me take one of his prized “Russell’s Reserve” barrels from him for a Nicholas Wines offering. He asked me sign the barrel and then he signed it right after me. I had no idea why..
Two years ago now, Eddie Russell surprised me by sending my empty barrel of Russel’s Reserve bourbon to Espolon to age a very special tequila. Don’t tell Eddie, but the tequila sold out even quicker than the bourbon that was originally in the barrel. You know I love to “recycle” so I made sure that I asked Eddie to send this years barrel to Mexico too.
Apparently, Wild Turkey sells their used barrels to Espolon for their bourbon barrel aged tequila. You wanna guess where my barrel ended up?? It spent part of the winter in Jalisco, Mexico filled with tequila and just arrived to Red Bank this week. What an awesome surprise! There couldn’t be any more perfect time of year for Tequila, here it is. Have at it.

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.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
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.
