Dry Week purchases part two—a back up of the new Elijah Craig BP Rye, the Templeton 13 Year Rye, and a Bowman Brothers (aka triple distilled Buffalo Trace) SiB store pick. More to look forward to. Cheers! It sometimes happens during a Dry Week that I scratch the itch with buying rather than sipping. That’s how I picked up this trio of single malts—Bodie 5 Dog, Fettercairn, and a rare Carsebridge find. Can’t wait to try them all. Cheers! 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!
