Of all the Michter’s whiskeys, the Barrel Strength Rye is easily my favorite. A friend passed this sample on to me. Lovely sweet and herbal rye goodness. Much appreciation for the sample sharing habit in the whiskey community. Cheers! Testing out this new coupe glass with a Rob Roy (see 📸5 for recipe). The glass’s subtle scallops are more visible after a few sips (📸3). The cocktail looked so lovely our backyard hummingbird buzzed by three times to check it out. Almost took a sip on one pass! She would have been pleased. Cheers! 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!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
