This one is underrated imo. A solid well-aged bourbon, priced well under what others charge, enjoyable from first pour to last. Cheers! The Staggering Gentleman is a potent cocktail that calls for high proof bourbon. I used Booker’s. To make it a bit more gentlemanly I served it in a fancy coupe (πŸ“Έ2) rather than the usual tumbler. Still packs a wallop! Another good one for autumn. Cheers! Cracked this one open for autumn. A Four Roses barrel strength single barrel store pick from 2022. I picked it up at half price because they mistagged it. Tastes twice as good! Cheers!
