New notes on WOODY CREEK RYE. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this quality sipper and mixer out of Colorado—with a guest cameo from Hollywood. Cheers! Heavy rain and a bit of hail outside. Thought I’d brighten things up with some old label Redbreast 12 by candlelight. Sláinte! I hadn’t had the Kilkerran 12 since its first release back in 2016, and that was in Scotland! Ten years later and now in San Francisco, it is as I remember it—a solid pour for a drizzly day. Sláinte!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
