Proper notes to come, but so far so excellent with this new flagship release from the Mars Komagatake Distillery. A delightful single malt with enough complexity to compel attention as well. Kanpai! My new found Ardnamurchan love continues with this cask strength single cask. Can’t wait to taste this stuff at full throttle. Sláinte! Rubicon Rye from @drydiggingsdistillery is always welcome on my shelf. One of my faves—made with 100% integrity and a great flavor bomb to boot. Gotta pick up another bottle already. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
