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.

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.
True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
“Easily one of the most tactile yet assertive and expressive bourbons I’ve tasted in the last two years; fasten your seat belts.” -Paul Pacult’s Spirit Journal
This is a beauty with a complex nose of toffee with hints of orange peel, herbs, honey, leather and oak. The mouthfeel is bold, dry and delicate with notes of candied almonds and very rich cocoa. It’s a gem at a great price.
The juice here is so pure and elegant, it tastes much more like a $80/bottle of Tequila than one going for half the price, but that’s why I love these single barrel deals so much. The value is insane. This Reposado spent just under 12 months in used bourbon barrels. Golden brown with fresh agave, oak & vanilla. Remarkably smooth finish. This is one of those oddball tequila’s that is good enough to just sip on the rocks but cheap enough to use to make one hell of a margarita.
