Getting toward the end of this absolutely fantastic old MGP rye bottled by Hughes Bros. Herbal, sweet, savory, and antique, and offered at half the price the same specs were commanding just a few years ago. Kinda wish I’d broken my No Bunkering rule for this one. Cheers! Regular followers may recall that in June I committed to buying only 12 bottles between then and June 2027. Now the third purchase has been made—a cask strength single cask of Glen Garioch aged 27 years. Sláinte! Fall Faves Pt1 - New notes on a KNOB CREEK SiB aged 10 years. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this release from among the last bottled at the standard 120 proof.  Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
