I’ve been sitting on this since picking it up in 2023. No reason. Just so much whiskey to be had. Finally cracked it open and it’s the fresh and zingy alpine meadow I expected it might be. A great whiskey to bring a little spring to autumn. Cheers! Taking inspiration from the Expat Killer cocktail, I made this Expat Highball.  Mainly I wanted to try out a new clear ice mold I’d used that renders a column of ice intended specifically for highballs. Hard to see it through the glass. But in πŸ“Έ3 you can see a bit of it. Kept the drink nice and cold. Cheers! New notes on 77 WHISKEY 7-YEAR SINGLE MALT aged in a port cask. Tap that πŸ”— IN BIO for deets on this smoldering cask strength American single malt. Cheers!
