New notes on KILKERRAN SHERRY CASK MATURED 8 YEAR SINGLE MALT. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this cask strength Campbeltown sherry bomb. Sláinte! The first sip back after Dry Week is always a special one, and this time it’s Rubicon Rye—my hometown hooch. Each batch is slightly different and always good. Cheers! It’s that time. My quarterly dry week—to reset my palate, my body, and my brain. See y’all again January 8. Cheers—with coffee!
