This is going to be a #PursuitSpirits Holiday weekend! Enjoy the real beginning of summer, hit the lake, spend time with family and friends, and also honor all men and women who died in U.S. military service.
Ms Sipp’n and me. #Thurby 2023.
I cannot wait for our @subtlespirits private barrel to be bottled—Thank you @joshuathinnes!
Here’s a sneak peek view of the legendary #TwinSpires at @churchilldowns as seen from the new First Turn Club—such fantastic space! And with plenty of @oldforester and @woodfordreserve to make it all the better. This will be a hot ticket for #Derby149 and beyond!
The Bourbon Raffle Hits Its Stride!
This 7-yr @wildernesstraildistillery Rye is a beautiful whiskey. So impressive. Run to Danville before it’s gone.
I wasn’t a winner for a single barrel but you’re always a winner when you get to hang out with Freddie! Thanks Amy for having me out to @buffalotracedistillery!
I agree with @breakingbourbon that #SeelbachsSunday should be a thing. This 9 1/2 yr Amburana finished bourbon and 15 1/2 yr straight bourbon are phenomenal! Cheers!
Who has the best #OldFashioned in #Louisville? My vote is @watchhillproper. Here tonight for day after Valentine’s with Ms. Sipp’n.
Check out this #BourbonJustice laser-etched barrel head from my friends at @bourbon51.engraving!
