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.

“Truly great stuff, this wine performed at a three-digit level both in the horizontal tasting of 2005s in Baltimore, as well as in Montreal at this mini-vertical. This sensational, opaque, bluish/purple wine offers up notes of vanillin, spring flowers, blueberry and blackberry liqueur, plus a touch of licorice. The wine hits the palate with a thunderous cascade of ripe, rich, concentrated fruit. It is full-bodied, multidimensional and layered. The tannins are beautifully integrated but still present, and the wood, acidity, alcohol, etc., are all beautifully assimilated in this magnificent, majestic vintage of Angelus.” -Robert Parker, Jr.
Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon is one of those go-to entry level whiskies that you can always count on to deliver. A product of the Beam Distilling Co., the Kentucky Straight checks in at 80 Proof and has a robust, rich flavor that hits you in waves. Charred oak, with notes of honey, caramel and fresh baked bread flood the senses with a brown sugar dominant palate that also features creme brulee notes and a hint of pepper. The finish goes on for a while, and leaves lingering notes of dried fruit, and cocoa.
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!
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.
