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.

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.
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
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.
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.
