Oooo this one has legit intrigue. Proper notes to come, but out of the gate I’ll say there’s a waltz going on here between dark fruit, coffee, and chocolate notes that is worthy of a dramatic mystery. Cheers! Life is short. Open the good stuff. New notes on OLD RIP VAN WINKLE 10 YEAR. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this unfortunately overhyped bourbon, and reflections on the things that last. Cheers! I got out of the bunkering habit a while ago but I’m so glad I had the good sense to get a back up of this one. Thompson Brothers are doing great things to make blends cool again, and this bottle is an excellent example. Great neat and makes a killer Penicillin cocktail too. Sláinte!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
