I hadn’t had the Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon in a few years when a friend passed this sample along. Solid stuff. Love the sample sharing habit in the whiskey community. Cheers! New notes on a FOUR ROSES OESV SiB aged 11+ years. Tap that πŸ”— IN BIO for deets on this lovely autumnal release bottled at barrel strength.  Cheers! Regular followers will recall that in June I committed to buying only 12 bottles between then and June 2027. The fourth purchase has now been madeβ€”Ampersand Opimus Kentucky Bourbon, aged 15 years and finished in Tokaji casks. Another entry in the NDP πŸ¦¬πŸ¦ƒ era. I’ve heard good things. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY πŸ§΅πŸ¦‹πŸ₯ƒ
