It’s that time. My quarterly dry week—to reset my palate, my body, and my brain. See y’all again January 8. Cheers—with coffee! Not a “best of” list. Just twelve great whiskey and whiskey-related experiences I remember particularly fondly from the past twelve months, arranged in roughly chronological order. Cheers and b’bye 2025! New notes on EVAN WILLIAMS SINGLE BARREL VINTAGE 2006. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this blast from the increasingly distant past, when excellent bourbon sat on bottom shelves raising no dust. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
