My relationship with Whistle Pig goes back pretty much to their beginning. Their master distiller David Pickerell (who is now widely considered to be the father of the craft whiskey movement) & I became pretty close friends back in the Restaurant Nicholas days. He even came to the restaurant a bunch of times before his passing to host dinners. I think I may have even had the first-ever private barrel release from them back in the day.
It’s always an amazing score when you can manage to pick out your own single barrel from a distillery like Whistle Pig. They really always deliver such amazing value, it’s no wonder they’ve become as successful as they have. I first started picking out my own barrels with the Boss Hog himself, the late, great Dave Pickerell nearly a decade ago! It’s been pretty incredible to see his vision come to light and the ridiculously high standards he set still followed to the degree it is. This is my third 6-year barrel and it’s absolutely gorgeous. So many bold, rich flavors all so perfectly in sync with one another. A delicious fall treat.

True whiskey and Knob Creek enthusiasts are going to go nuts for this one. Knob Creek Rye is as outstanding as it is rare but today we’re lucky enough to bring to you, my own single barrel of it. This is a big gold expression of Rye that holds nothing back. On the nose, there are hints of dill, rye and essence of charred oak. On the palate, you are hit over the head with baking spice, honey and freshly baked bread. The finish is certainly a warm “Kentucky Hug” that goes on forever.
Our special relationship with the red-hot Wyoming Whiskey has given us some incredible opportunities. We had a ‘Steamboat’ Whiskey that was previously only for the state of Wyoming as well as our own private barrel. Now, we’ve got their super limited production of Outryder Rye. It’s not a bourbon. It’s not a true rye. The result is a incredibly unique spirit that’s great for sipping or making cocktails. This Straight American Whiskey is a blend of two distinct mashbills, an almost Rye Whiskey and a High Rye Bourbon, that represents Wyoming Whiskey’s first use of Rye.
I once again found myself with one of the more and limited bottlings from the good people at Michter’s It comes in a round 111 Proof and is a monster from one of the best distilleries out there. This bottling is usually between 107 and 112 Proof but isn’t made every year (only in the good years). It’s oozing with seductive aromas of Cinnamon, rye spice, chocolate and freshly baked gingerbread. Cinnamon, dark chocolate, a hint of Cayenne pepper mixed with charred sugar and oak explode out of the bottle and greet you head on. I wish I had more than six of these beauties to pass out. Such is life.
The third release of three batches from Booker’s Bourbon 2023 Collection is Booker’s Batch 2023-03 ‘Might Fine Batch.’ These mini-releases have become extremely popular, and for good reason. “The vanilla and brown sugar sweet notes come through very well from the white oak barrels this bourbon aged in for over seven years. The taste is great and full bodied; when I added a splash of water, it opened up some great flavors, with a finish that gives a lovely “Kentucky Hug. My Dad would say that this is a Mighty Fine batch of Booker’s.” -Fred Noe
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.
I’m once again doing a little something special for this made-up holiday. I held back 24 bottles each from three of my favorite single barrel sourcing projects of the year and decided to package them all together in a 3-pack, go out at an outrageous price and create a little Black Friday magic. Each Whiskey Trio includes:
1 btl. Knob Creek Nicholas Single Barrel Reserve Rye #4
1 btl. Whistle Pig Piggyback Nicholas Single Barrel Small Batch 6-Year Rye
1 btl. Knob Creek Nicholas Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon #5
