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.

Today I snagged a really special single barrel that I have been working on for nearly two years now with Old Forester. It’s a 128.2 proof dynamo that will blow you away, and you’ll love every single sip. The nose is of fresh leather, baking spices & cocoa. On the pallet, this one is a monster & hits you with baked apple. brown sugar, vanilla & cinnamon. The finish goes on for two days long with notes of fig, cherries & clove. It’s big, but she’s a beauty.

“At the helm for Blue Run Spirits’ whiskeys are whiskey director Shaylyn Gammon and liquid advisor Jim Rutledge, who demonstrate their mastery with this blend of three Kentucky bourbons aged 6, 8, and 9 years. Oatmeal raisin cookies and tropical aromas dominate the nose, though dried pineapple is soon overtaken by cinnamon spice, vanilla bean, and grape jelly. The palate is rich with flavors of chocolate and espresso, then playful notes of raspberry syrup. Flourless chocolate cake, more fruit, and a good deal of heat make for a tantalizing finish.”
This is the very first 2024 installment of the limited production project from the Bourbon leaders, Booker’s and their iconic master distiller, Freddie Noe. They’re calling this batch ‘Springfield Batch’ as an homage to Booker Noe’s hometown in Kentucky where he was born and raised. This is a little bit of an older age statement than the last few in the series at 7 years, 7 months, and 8 days. It was bottled at 62% alc (124 Proof).
