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!!

This one is an aromatic fireworks show followed by a Big Red with a mouthful of red and black currants, plum, and licorice. There’s some notes of cedar, crushed herbs, and nutmeg here too that all mesh together nicely to create a lush, full-bodied wine with plenty of layers and a lengthy memorable finish.
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.
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.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
