I bought two of these back in 2019. Finally cracked the back up. At 12 years 8 months it’s all sweet oak, caramel, and orange zest, with a dollop of cherry pie filling and a dusting of baking spice. Lovely. Cheers! New notes on SIX RARE WHISKEY SAMPLES. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on these samples dating back as far as 1969, generously shared with me by a fellow whiskey fan. Cheers! Heading toward the final pours of this 2014 Rendezvous Rye. They literally don’t make’m like this anymore—blending 6-year MGP and 16-year Barton ryes. Sweet, herbal, vibrant, and syrupy. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
