On the nose this barrel features a distinctive aroma of freshly baked banana bread that instantly identifies this bourbon as none other than Woodford. Notes of oak, dark chocolate, cinnamon, and orange also appear, creating a bouquet that is both appetizing and rich.Full, rich mouthfeel but it is balanced so perfectly that it also mixes well in cocktails. Super smooth, the flavors of cinnamon, walnut, and allspice complement both the oak and vanilla tones imparted by barrel maturation. Dark chocolate and orange marmalade notes also caress the palate, while a certain rye spiciness adds a bit of flair to the overall flavor profile. In two words, this whiskey is utterly delicious.
On the finish it offers a long, spicy and satisfying finish. Hints of tobacco leaf, rye spice, and mint appear before giving way to oak notes and a subtle and elegant floral before leaving the palate.

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.
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.
90-92 Pts, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 91 Pts (Editors’ Choice), Wine Enthusiast – 91 Pts, Decanter
The wines get consistent high praise but 2018 is truly something special. 90-92 from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. 91 points and an Editor’s Choice designation from Wine Enthusiast. 91 more from Decanter who provides “There is so much to enjoy in the smaller appellations this year. Drinking Window 2022 – 2031” and another 90 point score from James Suckling. This is a home run value – especially for the price.
Grappa di Sassicaia is a distillate of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small % of Cab franc pumace from vines on the actual estate of Tenuta San Guido. It’s made from one of the oldest operating stills in all of Italy. The fresh marc is soft pressed from the skins immediately following the wine’s maceration phase and then right after that distillation starts up. After the cauldron gets emptied and the cycle is reinitiated, the heads and tails are eliminated so that the heart of the grappa preserves the purest spectrum of primary aromas and flavors. The finished spirit spends four years aging in French oak barriques. It’s a spirit that has both fruity and herbal elements from Cabernet but is also toasty and restrained with tons of nuance and depth. It’s a classy bottle – unfortunately, I only have one!
