Still enjoying this possibly perfect scotch, and in weather that’s possibly perfect for it. Sláinte!
When I first saw this I was wary of the onslaught of cask finishings involved. Would it be a complicated mess? Nope. It’s a bright and spicy Tiki Cocktail of a rye and I enjoyed it while it lasted. Cheers!
I’ve loved their Huling Station line, and am now excited to try the @olddominick 100% in-house Bottled in Bond TN Whiskey. Cheers!
