I was gifted this sample of the 2025 Thomas H. Handy. Great color. Spicy bright rye notes. Fiery bite to it. Not something I’d chase but certainly glad to have tried it. Cheers! New notes on BODIE 5 DOG SINGLE MALT. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this flavor-packed California whiskey. Cheers! This Ballechin 11+ Year Cask Strength SiB is edgier than the standard 10 Year release. But out of the gate and with a dollop of water I’m diggin’ it. Sláinte!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
