Getting toward the end of this one. Such a good swirl of cherry and oak notes, with a tang to it and a sticky syrupy texture to keep it lingering long after the last sip. And look at that color! Not AI, just good old bourbon. Cheers! It’s been a while since I’ve had anything from Breuckelen Distilling. This 7-year single malt aged in a Port cask and bottled at a mighty 130 proof has been lingering in my bunker for a few years. I cracked it open and oh man. This will keep me warm on chilly autumn nights. And it’s dangerously easy sipping for the proof. Wish me luck! Cheers! 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!
