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.

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).
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
The 2021 Atlas Peak Cabernet is a classic. It’s black in color, with a dynamic nose of cassis, cedar, and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The wine is fabulously concentrated with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging. Ry hit this one out of the park.
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!
