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.

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.
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.

Bulleit isn’t usually one to come out with too many new or limited releases, but the ‘Frontier’ Limited Release bucks that trend. This American Single Malt was made with 100% malted barley, aged in new American spiced oak casks, and bottled at 43% alcohol. It hits with notes of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, candied orange, dried fruits, and maple syrup. She’s a beauty – just wish I had more to sell!
