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.

Back in the day, Widow Jane used to be a staple at Nicholas Wines. But as its popular has gone crazy, it’s been tougher and tougher to get my hands on any. This is a hyper small batch bourbon that was aged for a minimum of thirteen years, non-chill filtered and proofed with Widow Jane’s signature limestone mineral water from the Rosendale Mines in New York. It’s a doozy of a bottle at 93 Proof and has notes of vanilla, nutmeg, graham cracker and sweet tobacco.

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!
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
