I haven’t had this in a long time and wanted to see if it is worth all the hype. It is better than I remember but only slightly above average, which I know will piss off a lot of people…but others will agree. Cheers🐎🥃

To keep drinking bourbon when it is 85-90 outside, I have found using a rock makes it more enjoyable so going with barrel strength only. And this is a great daily sipper. Cheers🦃🥃

Sorry to keep posting about Michter’s but they have so many good bottles that I enjoy drinking. This 10 year rye is another that is not like regular ryes and the 2023 has a massive cherry flavor just like the bourbon, which is not the norm for rye. Cheers🥃
