This year I’ve cooked up something totally special for the Bourbon Buyers Club members. I even held some whiskey back to make it all possible. I have our first ever Santa’s Whiskey Trio, with three of my own Nicholas Single Barrel Whiskeys at a fantastic price. Unfortunately there is a cap on these, as my barrel from Eddie Russell came with a hilariously low quantity, maybe the smallest single barrel ever produced! Every year ‘the angels share’ knocks the bottle count down due to natural evaporation during the distilling process, but this year my barrel from Russell’s was no joke only 42 bottles! So alas, no Russell’s offer and instead 42 of Santa’s Whiskey Trios are up for grabs. Each trio includes:
1 btl: Clyde May’s 5 Year Nicholas Single Barrel Selected Bourbon Whiskey
1 btl: Maker’s Mark Private Selection Nicholas Barrel Reserve #2
1 btl: Russell’s Reserve ‘Private Single Barrel Selection’ Bourbon Whiskey #6

The Don Fulano Blanco is a super lively, refreshing Tequila with a beautiful clear hue. It’s both floral and spicy with a little bit of grilled pineapple, dried mango and grassy aromas. It’s very smooth and dry yet still has good tropical fruit that comes through and plays nicely with a hint of minerality, white pepper and a slight citrus ending.
#5 Whisky of the Year, (2021) Whisky Advocate
“Nicole Austin hasn’t rested on her laurels since George Dickel Bottled in Bond won Whisky of the Year in 2019, continuing to create great and affordable whiskeys at Cascade Hollow Distillery. This is notably a bourbon rather than a Tennessee whiskey, though the criteria for the two styles mostly overlap. The nose is nutty and well spiced, with caramel corn, toasted pecans, cinnamon graham crackers, cherry tart, and butterscotch candies. There is a friendliness to the palate that makes it ideal for outdoor imbibing, with notes of spearmint, mixed berries, nougat, and honey. Big spice on the finish makes this a memorable sip.” -Whisky Advocate
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.
