• T8ke's Tasting Notes: Gorgeous, opulent, bold, rich. The goal of this blend was to show off bourbon AND sauternes, weaving a complex base bourbon that could integrate further with the tricky and concentrated flavors of Sauternes. The nose is bright, it's full, it's exploding: sweet oak, rich pepper, gorgeous butter cream and caramel pops with undertones of apple and brioche, lemon butter and candied pears, decadent sweetness and honeycomb. The palate dials up the oak and spice, full of body and a rich, pillowy, viscous blend of great oak structure, honey comb, apple butter, white grape, a hint of tropical fruit, butterscotch, and building spice. Pepper, ginger, a hint of clove, the oak brings this to balance. Long finish, a wild exit that's expressive and in-line: brioche meets sweet candied pears, apples, cinnamon, lovely white grape reduction and baking spice, honey comb, butterscotch and an exit full of oak and maple.

Though oriignally collected in the wild, the seeds that produced the agaves in thisbatch were cultivated by the Garcia family in Logoche. 
• T8ke's Tasting Notes: This batch is wild to me, one of the most distinctive of the day - an orchestra of tropical fruits like guava and mango and lime with this savory and rich character: black pepper, a faint touch of cinnamon, slate and the faintest touch of cedar and mesquite. It was distinctive and assertive on the nose, bright and loaded with character right away. The palate is a fusion of fresh fruits: lime, pineapple, mango, guava, vanilla, fantastic balance and balanced with a hint of white pepper, some cinnamon, light smoke - natural and essenced, not industrial or overpowering. The finish is a gorgeous blend of fruit and spice, tropical fruits, more salinity and minerality pairing beautifully with citrus and tropical fruit and this creamy, vanilla sweetness. Incredible, distinctive.

One moment it's a sweet, decadent bourbon, the next a punchy, loud rye. 

W.L. Weller Special Reserve (2025 Gold Foil Edition)

The Original Wheated Bourbon – Elevated for 2025

Known as the "Original Wheated Bourbon," W.L. Weller Special Reserve replaces the traditional rye grain with wheat to create an exceptionally soft, smooth, and approachable profile. This 2025 Gold Foil Edition takes that heritage and wraps it in a stunning, limited-edition presentation.

Featuring the iconic gold foil neck wrap, a design cue historically reserved for the most prestigious "dusty" bottles produced at the old Stitzel-Weller distillery this 2025 release is as much a centerpiece for your display as it is a world-class sipper.

Why the "Gold Foil" Matters to Bourbon Collectors

• Nostalgic Heritage: The gold foil aesthetic is a direct tribute to the high-end Weller bottlings of the 1970s and 80s, bridging the gap between modern Buffalo Trace excellence and the "Old School" Weller legacy.

• Limited 2025 Allocation: Unlike the standard Special Reserve, the Gold Foil release is produced in significantly lower quantities, making it a high-velocity target for "Weller Completionists."

• The Buffalo Trace Pedigree: Distilled at the world's most awarded distillery (DSP-KY-113) using the same wheated mash bill as Pappy Van Winkle, this bottle offers a 90-proof masterclass in balance and sweetness.

Tasting Notes: The Gold Standard Profile

• Nose: A warm, inviting bouquet of honey, butterscotch, and soft floral notes, underpinned by a hint of toasted oak.

  Palate: Remarkable creaminess on the tongue. Expect flavors of caramel apple, vanilla bean, and a delicate honeyed sweetness that only a 10-year-plus aging cycle (relative to standard batches) can provide.

• Finish: Exceptionally clean and calm. It leaves a lingering sweetness with a "burnt orange" citrus zest that defines the 2025 harvest.

This bourbon aged and matured in the finest oak barrels from Canton Cooperage at Buffalo Trace Distillery. Harvested from select American white oak, these staves are hand-sorted and open-air seasoned in Kentucky. This rigorous preparation ensures the wood perfectly influences the spirit’s flavor, honoring the storied journey from forest to barrel.

Caballito Cerrero Chato Puntas is made with maguey Chato (Agave angustifolia). The agave are cooked in a brick steam oven, milled in a double pass mill, fermented in open stainless steel tanks with both wild and proprietary yeast, and distilled in stainless steel and copper. This high-ABV version is made with the first cuts from the 2nd distillation and is only available in limited quantities.

Made from 100% blue agave and rested to perfection, this reposado showcases the beautiful balance between raw agave character and the mellowing influence of time in oak. Bottled at 46% ABV, AZUL Reposado offers bold, unapologetic flavor with a smooth, refined finish that reveals the true essence of quality agave spirits.

Rich and complex, expect notes of cooked agave, warm spice, vanilla, and subtle oak, with an underlying earthiness. The reposado aging adds layers of complexity while maintaining the bright, vegetal character that makes agave spirits so captivating. Each sip is a journey through Mexico's storied spirit-making traditions.

Caballito Cerrero represents small-batch, traditional production that respects both the agave plant and centuries-old techniques. This isn't mass-produced spirit—it's a carefully crafted expression that prioritizes quality, authenticity, and the preservation of Mexican heritage.

*All Fathertime Boubon Bottles Signed by Jim Gaffigan!*

From Jim:

As I continue to learn and “do research” on bourbon, I’ve grown to appreciate stronger pours. That’s why I decided to bottle some of Fourth & Long at cask strength (125.6 proof).

I affectionately refer to this expression as “Empty Nester Strength.” When children finally leave the home, parents enter a unique stage in their journey. While empty nesters are often characterized as being victoriously liberated from parental responsibilities, they sometimes also experience a level of grief. The grip of love and fear that permeates parenting grows a little tighter. And some nights that calls for a stronger bourbon.

*All Fathertime Boubon Bottles Signed by Jim Gaffigan!*

From Jim:

While I was thrilled to know a new child was on the way, a fear of uncertainty overtook me like a football team facing fourth and long. Parenting is hard. Raising three kids is exponentially harder. But much like going for it on fourth down, when you make it, there is a feeling of invincibility.

The same principles that inspired the previous versions of Fathertime have also guided the creation of our new release, Fourth & Long. This endeavor is still just me and Stu tasting barrels and putting together a smooth and delicious bourbon. Each bottle is personally signed by me, which was a pain in the ass but totally worth it – much like fatherhood.

*All Fathertime Boubon Bottles Signed by Jim Gaffigan!*

Fathertime is a Kentucky bourbon from comedian Jim Gaffigan. Middle Child Mystery is the third expression, sold as a 750ml bottle.

New parents are often told, "Children are like pancakes. You always mess up the first one." Based on this Pancake Logic, a second or third child would be an improvement, right? Not if you listen to birth order conspiracies (aka “theories”). According to those, the middle child has "issues" because they don't receive enough attention. Like most parents, Jim would never ignore one of his children. Unless they were asking for a screen. Or money. Or if he was watching football. Well, despite all this birth order nonsense (“theory”), Jim’s middle child somehow earned the right to be his phone's wallpaper image, much to the dismay of the other pancakes. The middle child is often a mystery; but then again, so is most of parenting... which is probably why Jesus invented bourbon.

The same principles that inspired the previous editions of Fathertime have also guided the creation of this new release, Middle Child Mystery. This endeavor is still just Jim and Stu tasting barrels and putting together a smooth and delicious bourbon. This batch is just as precious as the first, and each bottle is personally signed by Jim, which was a pain in the ass but totally worth it – much like fatherhood.

Jim fell in love with bourbon after he and his wife Jeannie learned an occasional drink provided a momentary break from parenting teenagers. If you have children, you understand. To those who humbly accept the paternal responsibility, we raise a glass to you. A father’s joy is earned.
