This was an excellent bourbon. And these 2021 bottles are still out there, so, keep your eye on those rando corner store shelves. Cheers! Good aul Jameson. Happy St Patrick’s Day. Sláinte! Toasting the day with this colorful riff on a kind of Martini meets Orange Blossom cocktail. (see 📸 2 for ratios) What should I call it? Cheers!
