So good. And for the 💸 a total no brainer buy for any fan of well aged MGP rye. This 14-year beauty plays like a wise old timer with a wry joke up their sleeve. Cheers! New notes comparing the 2022 & 2025 MARS TSUNUKI LIMITED EDITION SINGLE MALTS. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on these accomplished Japanese whiskies, one bourbon influenced and one a Sherry bomb. Kanpai! A new bottle from Westward is always welcomed—this one finished in PX Sherry casks. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
