It’s that time. My quarterly dry week—to reset my palate, my body, and my brain. See y’all again July 8. Cheers—with coffee! New post on the ol’ blog asking: WHAT MAKES A “LIMITED EDITION” WORTH IT? Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for a flight of seven Worth It and Not Worth It whiskey L.E’s. Cheers! This is the only Whiskey Barons release that made an impression. It came out in 2019 and raised eyebrows for being actually good, yet still overpriced like its two predecessors in the series. Now that the bourbon boom is sputtering, and given I got this bottle free in a raffle, I can appreciate this Wild Turkey riff for what it is—good bourbon. Cheers!
