David Pickerell’s latest & unfortunately his last project has finally come to fruition. Dave was all excited about this project when we were together blending a barrel of Whistle Pig about 10 years ago. He created the mash bill, set up the distillery & oversaw the planting of all the fields. He was so pumped that this was going to be a true “field to bottle” bourbon. I suspect he never loved buying the juice for WP.
The Boss Hog himself was a legend in Kentucky & is the reason for Maker’s Mark meteoric rise & his buying of the Whistle Pig juice was always a touchy subject. He was adamant about this not being the case at Hillrock. Dave passed away suddenly at the end of 2018 leaving a giant hole in the bourbon world. I have continued to watch the goings on at HR and I can finally say that I think the “Boss Hog” would be very proud of what they’ve done.
Last month I made a barrel pick for our own Nicholas Barrel Reserve (stay tuned for that one later this year). I grabbed a great one. I didn’t leave without asking if they had any high proof bottles to offer our bourbon buyers club. The 92 proof is excellent but what I loved was the 113.2 Cabernet Cask finish.
I scored only 30 bottles so I would suggest clicking “Buy Now” because our last offer sold out in 22 minutes.
The color is a copper/ amber with a reddish hue. The nose is caramel, vanilla & freshly made popcorn. On the palate it’s warm, but suggests a lower proof than it is, which I happen to love. The finish has undertones of vanilla, roasted pineapple & cherry. This is a beautiful Whiskey to enjoy slowly.

The third release of three batches from Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-03 ‘Might Fine Batch.’ These mini-releases have become extremely popular, and for good reason. “The vanilla and brown sugar sweet notes come through very well from the white oak barrels this bourbon aged in for over seven years. The taste is great and full bodied; when I added a splash of water, it opened up some great flavors, with a finish that gives a lovely “Kentucky Hug. My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s.” -Fred Noe
#1 Wine of the Year (2023), Owen Bargreen Top 100 Wines (2021)
100 Pts, International Wine Report (2020 + 2021 vintage)
This is a crazy rare two-pack opportunity that allows you to lock into not one but two consecutive 100-point vintages for this historic estate. Easily the best winery in Washington, maybe the best Cabernet Sauvignon producer in all of America, Quilceda Creek continues to raise the bar each vintage. You can lock into 1 bottle of the 2020 (100 pts, IWR) and 1 bottle of the 2021 (100 pts, IWR, 100 pts, OB) at a sensational price. No further discounts apply!
The juice here is so pure and elegant, it tastes much more like a $80/bottle of Tequila than one going for half the price, but that’s why I love these single barrel deals so much. The value is insane. This Reposado spent just under 12 months in used bourbon barrels. Golden brown with fresh agave, oak & vanilla. Remarkably smooth finish. This is one of those oddball tequila’s that is good enough to just sip on the rocks but cheap enough to use to make one hell of a margarita.
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.
