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!!!!

95 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 94 Points,Wine Spectator
Robert Parker, Jr. gave it 95 points and called it “one of the finest Warre’s I’ve ever tasted” and “a profound example of Warre vintage port.” Additionally, “Tasters should take note of the wealth of peppery, licorice-scented and flavored raspberry and blackcurrant fruit. Look for it to be ready to drink in 10-12 years, and keep for 30+.”
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.
Back in the day, Widow Jane used to be a staple at Nicholas Wines. But as its popular has gone crazy, it’s been tougher and tougher to get my hands on any. This is a hyper small batch bourbon that was aged for a minimum of thirteen years, non-chill filtered and proofed with Widow Jane’s signature limestone mineral water from the Rosendale Mines in New York. It’s a doozy of a bottle at 93 Proof and has notes of vanilla, nutmeg, graham cracker and sweet tobacco.
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.
