I hadn’t had the Michter’s 10 Year Bourbon in a few years when a friend passed this sample along. Solid stuff. Love the sample sharing habit in the whiskey community. Cheers! 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!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
