I’ve leaned on my friendships & connections in Kentucky big time over the last few months & finally some barrels are beginning to arrive. Should we surprised that the first one to arrive is from my friend Eddie Russell from Russell’s Reserve & Wild Turkey?
I love tasting with Eddie because he says he doesn’t get warmed up until barrel # 50. Last time we tasted together I bowed out around 100. Crazy thing is we both ranked barrels separately & came up with same top 4. My first phone call went to Eddie back in April when we ran out. Eddie agreed to send me 10-barrel samples from my favorite Rickhouse (E). 5 from level 4 & 5 from level 3.
I made my selection in a quick minute thinking I could get it right away. Ha, fat chance. She just arrived. I will make 160 bottles available to the NW faithful . Don’t wait too long, I’m fairly certain this barrel will empty just as fast as my last one!

My tasting notes: Super creamy with flavors of toffee, vanilla, roasted pineapple & floral rye. The finish takes you on a ride that lasts over a minute.

*Pre-Arrival Release* Orders will begin shipping the week of September 11th.
A new High West release is always met with a ton of anticipation, but if you’re a fan of the Cabernet Cask finishes on Bourbons and Tequilas like I am, then this one is 100% right up your alley. The aromas absolutely drip out of the bottle—a mix of cherries, oranges, and chocolate dance on the tongue, followed by some nuttiness intertwined with a hint of the used Cabernet barrel. It’s got some spice to it, a little hickory smoke, and some dark cocoa notes at the end that keep you coming back over and over again.
For my money, this might be both the best Whiskey under $50 and the most criminally under-priced Whiskey (not that I’m complaining). Whiskey Advocate has named this one to their 7 best under $60/bottlings, but as you can see this checks in way below. This small batch bourbon is made from barrels picked by father and son master distillers Jimmy and Eddie Russell. It’s as smooth as can be and jampacked with notes of caramel, vanilla, rye spice and burnt orange peel. Bottled at 90 Proof, this one leaves a nice, warm Kentucky hug that lingers nicely on the back palate.
I have one of High West’s newest and rarest releases, a limited roll out of Campfire Whiskey – a blend that they make using some of the finest scotch, bourbon and rye whiskey barrels they can get. This is a pretty complex blend and it gets increasingly better and more interesting with every return to the glass and new dimension unlocked. This one checks in at 92 Proof (46% alc.) and has a ton of different caramel, oak, light smoke, leather, dried fruit and zesty spices that send your taste buds on a straight up rollercoaster ride. Unfortunately, I have only a few bottles to go round – not enough for an offer of any kind.
