New notes on SIX RARE WHISKEY SAMPLES. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on these samples dating back as far as 1969, generously shared with me by a fellow whiskey fan. Cheers! Heading toward the final pours of this 2014 Rendezvous Rye. They literally don’t make’m like this anymore—blending 6-year MGP and 16-year Barton ryes. Sweet, herbal, vibrant, and syrupy. Cheers! A friend gifted me a handful of Meyer lemons so of course I’ve been putting them toward cocktails. With autumn fully underway, I’ve been using maple syrup as my cocktail sweetener. The combo in 📸1 makes for a great autumnal whiskey sour. A perfect cocktail as the sun prepares to set (📸3) and temperatures drop. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
