    It’s the first day of autumn, and the penultimat It’s the first day of autumn, and the penultimate #whiskeywednesday of #bourbonheritagemonth! 🥃🍁 Celebrating with the superb 2021 edition of @michterswhiskey 10-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon, which the Booze Fairy graciously delivered a few months ago 🙏 As with previous releases, the single barrel expression clocks in at 94.4 proof. Master of Maturation Andrea Wilson notes that the barrels were stored in Michter’s heat-cycled warehouses, which “increases the interaction between whiskey and wood” and allows them to extract more character from the barrel 🙌 #thirstyinla
