I never know what’s going to happen when I go down to Kentucky. I had another one of those crazy encounters when I was doing a barrel pick at Jefferson’s. My barrel picks at Jefferson’s are always an adventure because Dan, the guy that runs the picks is a complete surfer stoner bro. And yes, he lives in Kentucky. Needless to say, all of his friends are also really interesting characters.
On this visit his buddy, Dave Carpenter from Redemption dropped by just to say “hi”. Turns out Dave is the master blender at Redemption so he’s kind of an important guy to get to know. We hit it off pretty well because in a former life he went to Culinary School and was a chef for 20 years. Dan the C.B.O (chief barrel officer) at Jefferson’s was getting a little miffed because Dave was Bogarting his time.
Don’t worry I spun that into a pretty unique Jefferson’s opportunity. More on that one next week. I landed an appointment with Dave the next day to taste through some of his best barrels. Somehow, I ended up having to cook lunch though. I think he worked me on this one. That said, I snagged an incredible single barrel that was 6 years old. Single barrel selections from Redemption are getting increasingly rarer as their profile is skyrocketing in the bourbon world. This one is bottled at 105 proof.

Today I snagged a really special single barrel that I have been working on for nearly two years now with Old Forester. It’s a 128.2 proof dynamo that will blow you away, and you’ll love every single sip. The nose is of fresh leather, baking spices & cocoa. On the pallet, this one is a monster & hits you with baked apple. brown sugar, vanilla & cinnamon. The finish goes on for two days long with notes of fig, cherries & clove. It’s big, but she’s a beauty.
Our third single barrel of Whistle Pig and the first time we have our hands on their 6-year PiggyBack bottling. This one leads with a nose of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, butterscotch and toffee. On the palate, I get a lot of citrus & peach with a touch of lavender & black cherry. The finish here is strong & long with spicy dried fruits and caramel notes that linger. This one was distilled in house in Vermont, and as anyone can tell you with the farm releases, they always deliver the best of punches. This one comes in at 109.8 Proof.
The 2021 Atlas Peak Cabernet is a classic. It’s black in color, with a dynamic nose of cassis, cedar, and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The wine is fabulously concentrated with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging. Ry hit this one out of the park.
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.
