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.

True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
I was given fourteen samples to taste through, and found that the 5th sample was the winner. This one is not for the faint of heart. It was a tiny barrel of just 40 six-packs, but the quality here was out of the world. It checks in at 110 Proof (55% alc.) and has harmonious sweet and savory notes that dual throughout this super long and memorable finish. It’s worth selling less bottles to bring you one this good – you guys are going to absolutely love it.
This is the first release of its kind and was just announced last week. I snagged six bottles as soon as I could. It’s a U.S. only release, and it remains to be seen if there will be others. The Redbreast Kentucky Oak Edition is triple distilled in copper pot stills and matured in American Bourbon barrels and Spanish Oloroso Sherry butts. Then it’s finished for a minimum of 4 months in hand selected, air-dried American Oak from the Taylor family farm in Kentucky.
Rich and creamy notes of toasted oak, vanilla, caramel, and fresh baked Bundt cake immediately flood the sense’s as soon as you pop this one open. Bottled at 100-Proof, you get a little bit of heat on the front palate followed by rich oak, leather and freshly baked bread. As it starts to open, you get some sweeter, creamy vanilla notes that cream in as well as campfire s’mores and a dash of pepper. The finish is long, and a bit spicy which leaves a memorable aftertaste and leaves you wanting more.
