My whiskey four-pack consists of 4 very different bottles, two being Single Barrels that I picked out myself from my trip to Kentucky in January along with the New Jersey premiere of Elijah Craig Rye and a rare one in the form of Redemption’s Wheated Bourbon. All in all you get four outstanding and unique offerings, one of which is not even in the store and up to this point has been a Bourbon Buyers Club exclusive.
Each four pack includes:
1 btl. Bulleit Nicholas Single Barrel Reserve #2 Bourbon Whiskey
After a few years waiting for my own barrel, I finally got the chance to pick out two in January. This is my second. This one is from Mashbill E. It has super inviting notes of fresh baked, spiced bread & caramel. This is a 7 year old single-barrel beauty & was bottled at 104 Proof. Add in some tasty oaky vanilla overtones and creme brulee, brown butter and you’re cooking with dynamite.
1 btl. Elijah Craig Straight Rye Whiskey
Best of Class (Platinum) Sip Awards – #7 Top Whisky, Whisky Advocate 2020
A 94-Point, 94-Proof release. In the glass, Elijah Craig Rye reveals the imbuing spice of rye grains, perfectly balanced with corn for distinct smoothness and character. Notes of dark chocolate with spices and a hint of smoke and a splash of sweet, toasted oak on the lingering finish.
1 btl. Redemption Wheated Bourbon Whiskey
“Best Small Batch Bourbon Up to 5 Years” Winner – San Francisco World Spirits Competition
The high wheat content in the mash bill is very rare and makes the whiskey super smooth even at a fairly high 96 Proof (48% alc.). This baby was aged for four years, with a mashbill of 51% corn, 45% wheat and 4% malted barley. The blend is so damn good. It oozes with notes of freshly baked bread and a malty sweetness. That’s followed by notes of candied ginger, sage and lavender with aromas of oak and vanilla creeping through. On the palate, a silky blend that sneaks up on you with intense flavors of coffee, hazelnuts, baking spices and black pepper.
1 btl. Yellowstone Nicholas Single Barrel Selection Bourbon Whiskey
Believe it or not, I actually think this barrel was my favorite pick of my entire Kentucky trip in January. I tasted a ton of Single Barrels at different proofs with the legend Stephen Fante. We both agreed that without a doubt the best one was the 109 Proof beauty that I picked out. My notes on my pick & they are a little “fuzzy” but I got a rush of sweet vanilla that paired with caramelized banana and graham cracker. It had an incredible depth of flavors with a super long velvety finish. So dang good.

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.
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.
This is an extraordinary chance to lock into two of the best vintages of Jordan Cabernet ever made. This is one of California’s iconic producers of Cabernet, and both the 2009 and 2010 vintages were like a dream come true for superstar winemaker Rob Davis. Most of these bottles are long gone, but luckily I manage to snag enough to offer up a 2009, 2010 side-by-side Library vertical. These will fly out the door!
91 Points (Best Buy), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Points, James Suckling – 90 Points, Vinous
The wine was fantastic – a high-toned beauty with a super fruity and tropical nose that leads to citrus and stone fruit, amazing natural acidity, and even a streak of minerality that dazzles the palate.
