The last time I was at Jefferson’s with Dan Burke (chief barrel officer), Dan told me he had a barrel of Ocean’s that he loves & thought I should taste. “It’s nothing like the others, trust me.” I obliged and reluctantly agreed, and quickly discovered that what I was tasting was the best Jefferson’s that I ever tasted.
“Why have you been holding out, what the hell is that?”
This was ‘Voyage 22,’ which was the only time they ever did a wheated bourbon for their ‘Oceans’ line. Of course, you know I’m not shy, so I asked if I could buy it. Dan said they are way passed selling this barrel as they were on to Voyage 26. This barrel was the owner, Trey’s. Ugh. Oh well — at least I picked up a great Jefferson’s Reserve while I was there.
Well, Dan must have toked up a good one the next morning or something because he called me all chipper and said, “I’m sending you Trey’s barrel but don’t tell anyone!” Hah, me? I would never!!

Now some of the best Pinot Noir in the world comes from the Yamhill-Carlton District (this small neck of the woods has earned its own AVA) and specifically from Shea Vineyards. Big name wineries clamor for fruit: Antica Terra, Beaux Freres, Bergstrom, Penner-Ash, & Sine Qua Non, to name a few. This Pinot is lights out and even given the pedigree, drinks several echelons higher. Blueberry, Blackberry, Blue Cheese (?!?), chanterelle mushrooms, lavender, mint – I could go on. It’s literally got it all, but I won’t spoil it for you.
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.
Rich and creamy notes of toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, and fresh baked Bundt cake immediately flood the sense’s as soon as you pop this one open. Bottled at 100-Proof, you get a little bit of heat on the front palate followed by rich oak, leather and freshly baked bread. As it starts to open, you get some sweeter, creamy vanilla notes that cream in as well as campfire s’mores and a dash of pepper. The finish is long, and a bit spicy which leaves a memorable aftertaste and leaves you wanting more.
I once again found myself with one of the more and limited bottlings from the good people at Michter’s It comes in a round 111 Proof and is a monster from one of the best distilleries out there. This bottling is usually between 107 and 112 Proof but isn’t made every year (only in the good years). It’s oozing with seductive aromas of Cinnamon, rye spice, chocolate and freshly baked gingerbread. Cinnamon, dark chocolate, a hint of Cayenne pepper mixed with charred sugar and oak explode out of the bottle and greet you head on. I wish I had more than six of these beauties to pass out. Such is life.
