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.

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 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.
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.
Basil Hayden’s Kentucky Straight Bourbon is one of those go-to entry level whiskies that you can always count on to deliver. A product of the Beam Distilling Co., the Kentucky Straight checks in at 80 Proof and has a robust, rich flavor that hits you in waves. Charred oak, with notes of honey, caramel and fresh baked bread flood the senses with a brown sugar dominant palate that also features creme brulee notes and a hint of pepper. The finish goes on for a while, and leaves lingering notes of dried fruit, and cocoa.
