A few months back I offered our Club a rare find of Jefferson’s Ocean Wheat. It was the only one of its kind. I snagged that barrel from Dan Burke the C.B.O (chief barrel officer) at Jefferson’s but that wasn’t the reason why I was there in the first place. In fact, I was actually there specifically to secure the barrel that I’m offering up today, which I thought would be the perfect thing to kick off the holiday season.
If you remember, I told you about Dan, the stoner surfer dude that lives in Kentucky, yes, Kentucky. He took a while to open up, but once I got him going, I think I got offered the really good sh*t. We were supposed to taste 15 samples to pick out this barrel. We ended up tasting 27… plus a few bonuses like that incredible Oceans NBR.
After 27 samples, you better believe what we scored is something really special. This is one of my best hauls ever – a rare single barrel of Jefferson’s Reserve at 100 Proof!!!
Tasting Notes: It leads with sweet aroma of warm panettone. Then the sweet delectable taste of fruit and honey. A warm burning at the end. And the flavor of this nectar stays on your taste buds more than a couple of minutes. Best consumed relaxing and enjoying on a holiday afternoon.

“So aromatic and fresh with black olives, black truffles, gravel and dried flowers. Milk chocolate. Ovaltine. Full-bodied with fantastic old-vine tannins. Layered and very structured. Goes deep and down. One for the cellar. Superb. Maybe the best ever.” -James Suckling
94 Points (#12 Whiskey of the Year), Whisky Advocate
“At the helm for Blue Run Spirits’ whiskeys are whiskey director Shaylyn Gammon and liquid advisor Jim Rutledge, who demonstrate their mastery with this blend of three Kentucky bourbons aged 6, 8, and 9 years. Oatmeal raisin cookies and tropical aromas dominate the nose, though dried pineapple is soon overtaken by cinnamon spice, vanilla bean, and grape jelly. The palate is rich with flavors of chocolate and espresso, then playful notes of raspberry syrup. Flourless chocolate cake, more fruit, and a good deal of heat make for a tantalizing finish.”
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 the first release of its kind and was just announced last week. I snagged six bottles as soon as I could. It’s a U.S. only release, and it remains to be seen if there will be others. The Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition is triple distilled in copper pot stills and matured in American Bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso Sherry butts. Then it’s finished for a minimum of 4 months in hand selected, air-dried American Oak from the Taylor family farm in Kentucky.
