A variation on the Red Hook cocktail. I highly recommend it—and Woody Creek Rye makes a great base. Cheers! This one I found to be meh at first, just another sherry bomb. Very high quality, but boring. But over time it really grew on me. A good reminder of the role time plays in whisky, not just in the barrel but the uncorked bottle too. Cheers! New notes on WOODY CREEK RYE. Tap that 🔗 IN BIO for deets on this quality sipper and mixer out of Colorado—with a guest cameo from Hollywood. Cheers!

Now also on THREADS and BLUESKY 🧵🦋🥃
