Take a look of some of the shots I got of Limestone Branch and Stephen Fante from my trip.
I have met some characters in the bourbon business but I have never met anyone like Stephen Fante from
Limestone Branch Distillery in Kentucky. I met him at the distillery in a snow storm back in January. He was sitting out on the porch next to a wood stove drinking a hot “beverage” out of a tin cup.
I half thought it was a gag. You know kind of like one of those tour guides in Disney World? Halfway through, I started secretly recording him because of the things he was saying. Unfortunately he caught me so I only got a few minutes. My favorite quote was “Paul Beam’s great, great ,great grandmother on his mothers side tells me them Beam boys weren’t born, they were distilled”, then he takes a sip from his tin cup.
Well it turns out Stephen was not an actor, he is the real deal & actually is kind of famous as Kentuckys #1 ambassador & has been recognized with the Double Platnium award from Fred Minnick. Side show aside, “This was some damn good juice” that we tasted together. Believe it or not, I actually think this barrel was my favorite pick of the trip.

Bulleit isn’t usually one to come out with too many new or limited releases, but the ‘Frontier’ Limited Release bucks that trend. This American Single Malt was made with 100% malted barley, aged in new American spiced oak casks, and bottled at 43% alcohol. It hits with notes of freshly baked pumpernickel bread, candied orange, dried fruits, and maple syrup. She’s a beauty – just wish I had more to sell!
This is my Burgundy discovery of the year. The 2022 Bourgogne Rouge features a perfumed and very pretty nose that reflects notes of ripe berries, violets, and a touch of earth. The fruit is so detailed and pure, a hallmark of this special vintage, with excellent energy that finishes a mile long.
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.

“Rich layers of spiced fruit aromas reveal themselves in waves; cinnamon baked plums, caramelized apple tart, and floral undertones. Concentrated flavors of mixed baking spices, peach skin, fresh tobacco, and brown sugar are luscious and ever evolving through the suede texture. A pleasure to sip.”
