One of the great Jim Beam releases—high quality, affordable, knows its history, and GOOD. This stuff came out in 2018 and I still run across it on corner store shelves now and then. Always glad to have a bottle open on my home shelf. Cheers! This McKenzie Rye Single Barrel is all cedar syrup dusted with baking spices. A bit reserved out of the gate. Very curious how it will open up over time... Cheers! Every year I pick up this annual release and every year it’s fantastic. But Lot 25 was a special one. Can’t wait to see what Lot 26 brings next Fall. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
