If you want to know how I get to pick out these Private Reserve single barrels, I’ll let you in on the process. The master distiller will select his favorite 20 or 30 barrels for all of us “one’s” to select from. Obviously the first “one” to select will get the best of the best. This has been our exact situation the past few times when I selected our Knob Creek single barrel of bourbon with Master Distiller Fred Noe.
Of course, given that it’s Knob and they’re consistently excellent all 20 that I tasted were outstanding. But I don’t mess around during these kinds of tastings, and I’m pretty sure that I locked into the best of the bunch before anyone else even had a chance to taste it.
I found this one in Rickhouse 0 on floor 5.

When my yearly allocation came in for W.L. Weller, I was pleased to find out that I was granted a few ‘bonus bottles’ by the powers that be. Hey, you know I’m not arguing. I only got a few more the Single Barrel, 12-Year and the Antique so I decided to put those into 3-packs and sell those as well. Get in while you can, I only have three. Each 3-pack sampler includes 1 bottle each of the following:
Weller Single Barrel (orange)
Weller 12 year (black)
Old Weller Antique (red)
This is a very rare beauty and one of the few private barrels that Jefferson’s does at 100 Proof. It leads with sweet aroma of warm panatone. 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 chilly winter day.
In terms of rare and unique bottles go, this Japanese Whisky is up there with anything in the spirits world. It’s a blended whisky finished in Sakura (cherry blossom) casks and Hibiki® 30 Year Old, a rare annual release that retails for $5000/btl. Hibiki is a gorgeous blend of ten various malt and grain whiskies from Suntory’s Yamazaki, Hakushu and Chita distilleries. It’s super aptly named as all of these flavors and smells mesh together beautifully, with no shortage of flavors and aroma.
I have one of High West’s newest and rarest releases, a limited roll out of Campfire Whiskey – a blend that they make using some of the finest scotch, bourbon and rye whiskey barrels they can get. This is a pretty complex blend and it gets increasingly better and more interesting with every return to the glass and new dimension unlocked. This one checks in at 92 Proof (46% alc.) and has a ton of different caramel, oak, light smoke, leather, dried fruit and zesty spices that send your taste buds on a straight up rollercoaster ride. Unfortunately, I have only a few bottles to go round – not enough for an offer of any kind.
