New notes on KILKERRAN 12 YEAR SINGLE MALT. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this solid scotch sipper. Sláinte! Out of the gate I’m not so sure about this one. Dry like a long dead fallen oak left out to weather. None of the apple sweetness I usually get from Bowman bourbons. We’ll see how it airs out… Cheers! A variation on the Red Hook cocktail. I highly recommend it—and Woody Creek Rye makes a great base. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
