New notes on WILD TURKEY MASTER’S KEEP 17 YEAR BiB. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this exceptional autumnal fave.  Cheers! Of all the Michter’s whiskeys, the Barrel Strength Rye is easily my favorite. A friend passed this sample on to me. Lovely sweet and herbal rye goodness. Much appreciation for the sample sharing habit in the whiskey community. Cheers! Testing out this new coupe glass with a Rob Roy (see 📸5 for recipe). The glass’s subtle scallops are more visible after a few sips (📸3). The cocktail looked so lovely our backyard hummingbird buzzed by three times to check it out. Almost took a sip on one pass! She would have been pleased. Cheers!
