I have our second ever Santa’s Whiskey Trio, with three of my own Nicholas Single Barrel Whiskeys at a price that would make the big guy in Red blush. These are a sampling of some of what I think are the very best single barrel whiskeys from around the country with Kentucky, Alabama and Wyoming represented here today. Here are the three bottles which offer very differing styles of the good stuff:
1 btl: Clyde May’s 5 Year Nicholas Single Barrel Selected Bourbon Whiskey #2
1 btl: Maker’s Mark Private Selection Nicholas Barrel Reserve #3
1 btl: Wyoming Whiskey Private Stock Nicholas Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon Whiskey

“Deep garnet-purple colored, the nose slowly unfurls to unveil beguiling floral notes of candied violets and rose oil over a core of creme de cassis, blackberry pie, and plum preserves, giving way to notions of licorice, Indian spices, iron ore, and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, the palate is jam-packed with taut, muscular black fruit layers, intertwined with gorgeous floral and exotic spice accents, and framed by firm, finely grained tannins with seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral-laced. Tightly coiled with so much latent energy waiting to explode, this is a spectacular expression of the vintage and Napanook vineyard. Still tightly coiled, give it a good 6-7 years in the cellar before broaching, and allow it a few hours in a decanter if consumed before 2032.”
This is a very rare single barrel Bourbon Whiskey to make its way to Jersey. Maple syrup, butterscotch, caramel & brown sugar with a palate of caramel apple, roasted almond, ripe banana and graham crackers. This one has a full mouthfeel with a nice creamy middle. The finish here lingers with just the right amount of burn. This was born on 2/3/2017 and bottled at 102 Proof. This is a great bottle of Whiskey.
This one is too crazy. Three years and a pandemic ago after I picked the barrel I wanted from Corazon, my pick of the rare green label single barrel Corazon Reposado Tequila has arrived. Two great things. One: it’s absolutely delicious with a mix of citrus, lemongrass, honey, and light caramel with a hint of vanilla, some dried fruit and even a faint hint of espresso on the finish. Two: the pre-pandemic price. This one is a no brainer.
With Makers you get to blend your own barrel using different different wood staves of varying levels of char & wood. In blending these barrels, there are 1001 possible combinations. For mine, I used 3 baked American pure, 2 seared French Cuvée, 2 Maker’s 46, 3 roasted French Mocha staves. It hits the senses with fragrant notes of toffee, caramel apple and coffee. Despite being high alc., it’s crazy smooth and seductive with vanilla and caramel notes and a creamy finish that delivers a super enjoyable slow burn. For me, this is hands down the best Maker’s Mark that I’ve ever tasted.
