New notes on ECHO DOUBLE OAKED BOURBON. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this unique blend of Wild Turkey bourbons, crafted to harken back to the pre-Prohibition days. Cheers! Enjoying a late night pour of this good stuff. Redbreast is a fun sipper at any hour. Sláinte! I still come across this 2018 release in shops from time to time and always pick up a bottle when I do. One of the best “limited editions” ever produced—quality stuff, affordable, tastes great. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
