New notes on a FOUR ROSES OESV SiB aged 11+ years. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this lovely autumnal release bottled at barrel strength.  Cheers! Regular followers will recall that in June I committed to buying only 12 bottles between then and June 2027. The fourth purchase has now been made—Ampersand Opimus Kentucky Bourbon, aged 15 years and finished in Tokaji casks. Another entry in the NDP 🦬🦃 era. I’ve heard good things. Cheers! It’s that time. My quarterly dry week—to reset my palate, my body, and my brain. The NA beer game has much improved over the years, and this Rationale Japanese Style “beer” makes a great cap to the day. See y’all again October 8. Cheers—maybe with “beer,” maybe with coffee!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
