Finally, my barrels from my Kentucky trip in January are beginning to arrive. I was beginning to think they were shipped to China & returning on the slow boat. I’ve been particularly anxious for the two that I picked at Lux Row with master distiller, John Rempi.
If you’re unfamiliar with Lux Row, they are in the bourbon capital of the world, Bardstown Kentucky & are best known for Ezra Brooks, Rebel, & Blood Oath. I was allowed to grab a barrel of two of their prized offerings but there’s not a whole lot to go around.
My first offering is a cask strength Ezra Brooks born on 9/21/2017. We found her on the 6th floor of warehouse 6 and it she at 127.3 proof when we tasted. I proofed this barrel slightly down to 120. As you know, I love high proof bourbon that drinks like low proof. This is the kind of bourbon that can get you in to a bit of trouble because you would never know its at 120 proof.

Drawn from the heart of Tuscany, in Villa di Rèmole, the Sangiovese-dominant wine is an homage to the subregion from which it is drawn. It’s a super juicy, fruity wine that also has some floral and spicier notes that come in to play at the end. It’s an incredibly balanced and elegant wine for the price, a wine that screams for good food, anything from soft cheese to cured meats to pasta or pizza.

“Rich layers of spiced fruit aromas reveal themselves in waves; cinnamon baked plums, caramelized apple tart, and floral undertones. Concentrated flavors of mixed baking spices, peach skin, fresh tobacco, and brown sugar are luscious and ever evolving through the suede texture. A pleasure to sip.”
I was given fourteen samples to taste through, and found that the 5th sample was the winner. This one is not for the faint of heart. It was a tiny barrel of just 40 six-packs, but the quality here was out of the world. It checks in at 110 Proof (55% alc.) and has harmonious sweet and savory notes that dual throughout this super long and memorable finish. It’s worth selling less bottles to bring you one this good – you guys are going to absolutely love it.
The 2020 Savigny-les-Beaunes Rouge, is the product of ancient vines, upwards of 75 years old in the lieux-dits of Planchots and Connardises. It’s a blockbuster red Burg, blasting out of the glass with an aromatic profile of spiced red berries with just a touch of savory anise.
