Our “story” with Whistle Pig goes way back. Their master distiller David Pickerel was a friend to us & a loyal supporter of Restaurant Nicholas. Turns out he liked good food.😜 To say David was a big deal in Kentucky would be the understatement of the year. How else do you think all my connections in Kentucky started?
The Boss Hog himself always made sure we had the best barrels for the restaurant. He & I even once blended a few barrels together. I kinda think he just wanted to drink together. Sadly the whisky world lost a legend a few years ago & I lost a friend. I have a few more barrels of Whistle Pig that he & I picked still up at the farm in Vermont & today I am releasing our 3rd barrel of 10 year Whistle Pig.

Our third single barrel of Whistle Pig and the first time we have our hands on their 6-year PiggyBack bottling. This one leads with a nose of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, butterscotch and toffee. On the palate, I get a lot of citrus & peach with a touch of lavender & black cherry. The finish here is strong & long with spicy dried fruits and caramel notes that linger. This one was distilled in house in Vermont, and as anyone can tell you with the farm releases, they always deliver the best of punches. This one comes in at 109.8 Proof.
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
