The bourbon shortage has hit every distillery without exception. Jefferson’s has been hit harder than most because their reserve can age up to 20 years. Turns out that 20 years ago, nobody was expecting this bourbon boom.
Most of what you see in the market place from Jefferson’s these days is the Voyages or the Pritchard Hill. They are good enough I guess but I don’t really have interest in selecting one of those as a private barrel. I thought for sure last years would be our last Jefferson’s for a long time.
This year when Trey Zoeller asked me if I wanted a barrel, I really had to dance around saying that I really didn’t want the Voyages. He was quick to tell me that they don’t do the Reserve anymore for private barrels. We talked a while and I told him that the most requested bourbon from my bourbon buyers club was his. It’s mostly true as it sells out the fastest but you can’t blame me for buttering him up a bit can you? Before our conversation was over he said he was sending me a bunch of barrel samples & would include a few Reserve samples. They would all be unmarked & I can pick whatever I wanted. Ha! This wasn’t even close. I picked the 3 Reserves out of the bunch in a heartbeat. Actually all 3 were very good but barrel #68 was head and shoulders above the rest.
I can’t promise that there will ever be a Jefferson’s Reserve #4 because Trey told me this is the last private reserve barrel that they are ever releasing.

Bulleit isn’t usually one to come out with too many new or limited releases, but the ‘Frontier’ Limited Release bucks that trend. This American Single Malt was made with 100% malted barley, aged in new American spiced oak casks, and bottled at 43% alcohol. It hits with notes of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, candied orange, dried fruits, and maple syrup. She’s a beauty – just wish I had more to sell!
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.
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 my third private barrel of Bourbon that I sourced from Bulleit and my first since 2022. Believe you me, they give you a ton (and I mean a ton) of samples to go through to make up for lost time. The winning combo is something people are going to love. Allow me to introduce you to Barrel #5-B3-82. It’s smooth and layered, with a full creamy mouthfeel and manages to sneak in at 104 Proof. On the nose, I get fresh cut oak, vanilla and brown butter. On the palate, freshly baked banana bread, burnt orange and graham cracker.
