One of the many things I’ve learned on my trips to Kentucky is that a lot of the distillers actually drink rye over bourbon. I remember after an hour of tasting barrel after barrel of bourbon with Eddie Russell at Wild Turkey the barrel that got him more excited than any other was his private barrel of rye. It absolutely blew me away. Was it for sale? Hell no. Since that tasting 2 years ago I’ve been on a mission to find a single barrel offering of a Nicholas Reserve Rye.
On my last visit to Brooklyn to taste at Widow Jane, they turned me on to New York’s Distilling Company. They make a killer rye made with New York State organically grown rye. I was blown away with their Ragtime Rye. They do very few single barrels so this is one rare bird. They always bottle at 90 proof but I talked them into bottling The Nicholas Barrel Reserve at 100 proof so you can have it over ice or mixed in a cocktail.
This a super smooth rye with a long lasting burn. Hints of marzipan, hazelnut, cinnamon and nutmeg on the palate. The nose reveals tobacco, anise, and mocha. Aged 3 years in charred American Oak and bottled at 100 proof. Each bottle is numbered and there aren’t many to go around. The rest of the barrel will only be available at Bar N.

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.
This is the very first 2024 installment of the limited production project from the Bourbon leaders, Booker’s and their iconic master distiller, Freddie Noe. They’re calling this batch ‘Springfield Batch’ as an homage to Booker Noe’s hometown in Kentucky where he was born and raised. This is a little bit of an older age statement than the last few in the series at 7 years, 7 months, and 8 days. It was bottled at 62% alc (124 Proof).

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
