Winner: “Best Small Batch Bourbon Up to 5 Years.” – San Francisco World Spirits Competition
Two weeks ago, I managed to snag a barrel of Redemption Bourbon for the Bourbon Buyers Club. Stay tuned for that offering, although barrels seems to be moving at a snails pace these days. Apparently there is a fairly large staffing shortage in the bluegrass state.
While tasting through their line-up down there, this was one that immediately jumped out to me that hit the flavor profile that I love. Super smooth, creamy & drank like a lower proof bourbon.
The high wheat content in the mash bill is very rare and makes the whiskey super smooth even at a fairly high 96 Proof (48% alc.). This baby was aged for four years, with a mashbill of 51% corn, 45% wheat and 4% malted barley. The blend is so damn good. It oozes with notes of freshly baked bread and a malty sweetness. That’s followed by notes of candied ginger, sage and lavender with aromas of oak and vanilla creeping through. On the palate, a silky blend that sneaks up on you with intense flavors of coffee, smoked meats, hazelnuts, baking spices and black pepper.

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.
Back in the day, Widow Jane used to be a staple at Nicholas Wines. But as its popular has gone crazy, it’s been tougher and tougher to get my hands on any. This is a hyper small batch bourbon that was aged for a minimum of thirteen years, non-chill filtered and proofed with Widow Jane’s signature limestone mineral water from the Rosendale Mines in New York. It’s a doozy of a bottle at 93 Proof and has notes of vanilla, nutmeg, graham cracker and sweet tobacco.
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.
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.
