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.

In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
This is definitely one of the most unique private barrels of bourbon you’re gonna find anywhere and it comes from our friends at in Kirby at Wyoming Whiskey. It’s been two years since we’ve had this baby! They make their own whiskey in-house instead of getting it shipped to them and finishing it. In doing so, they use winter wheat to churn out a medium length whiskey with notes of honey, burnt sugar, cinnamon and caramel on the finish. It’s sensational – but I only have 120 bottles from this barrel to offer up.
This one is an aromatic fireworks show followed by a Big Red with a mouthful of red and black currants, plum, and licorice. There’s some notes of cedar, crushed herbs, and nutmeg here too that all mesh together nicely to create a lush, full-bodied wine with plenty of layers and a lengthy memorable finish.
This is my Burgundy discovery of the year. The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge features a perfumed and very pretty nose that reflects notes of ripe berries, violets, and a touch of earth. The fruit is so detailed and pure, a hallmark of this special vintage, with excellent energy that finishes a mile long.
