There’s an old play by Anton Chekhov called Three Sisters that I’ve directed adaptations of a few times. I’m ever curious about how siblings can be variations on a theme. This trio of MGP-sourced bourbon bottled by @klwines offers just such an opportunity. Looking forward to how these sisters relate. Cheers! The standard Rittenhouse is a stalwart of the bar shelf. But this single barrel pick from @klwines was bottled at a lucky 7 years and that extra time in the barrel gives it a bump up. Everything is just a notch darker and creamier. I dig it. Cheers! New notes on WESTWARD PX SHERRY CASK FINISHED SINGLE MALT. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this exceptionally balanced American whiskey. Cheers!
