Not Eligible for Further DiscountThe tahona is a giant two-ton volcanic wheel dug from the local area and rolled in a circle to crush the roasted agave hearts. Almost all tequila these days is made using an industrial conveyor roller mill process. This is obviously more efficient and yields much more juice (which is bad for the quality). Like most things though, the old school version TASTES BETTER.
This particular barrel is one of the most complex tequilas I’ve ever tasted. A bit of bourbon barrel gives way to nuanced notes of citrus, black pepper, and a little tease of ginger. Words really don’t do this justice. I suggest you taste this side by side with any tequila in existence.
Of course, the tahona method of making tequila makes them substantially more expensive. Typically, you need to pay $100 or more for a good Tahona Anejo. Not for the Nicholas Barrel Reserve Roca Patron.
This is my favorite part of our barrel program: Nicholas Wines customers get to cherry pick the very best barrel (IMO) from the Roca line up but basically pay the price of Patron’s regular Anejo. TRUST ME, this is no regular Patron Anejo. Don’t believe me? Taste them side by side!!!!

I suggest you sip this neat or on the rocks but at this price, you could even use it to make cocktails.

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.
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.
The third release of three batches from Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-03 ‘Might Fine Batch.’ These mini-releases have become extremely popular, and for good reason. “The vanilla and brown sugar sweet notes come through very well from the white oak barrels this bourbon aged in for over seven years. The taste is great and full bodied; when I added a splash of water, it opened up some great flavors, with a finish that gives a lovely “Kentucky Hug. My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s.” -Fred Noe
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
