We stopped by Michters on our last morning to do the bottle your own.
And the reason we stayed the extra day. My nephew entered us into a drawing to have a tasting of the last 4 Old Fitzgerald launches. Twenty people were with us for the launch party of the 25th anniversary launch. WOW. I am so happy we won the drawing and got to participate in this once in a lifetime event.
We were “gifted” each a bottle.
Smooth, very little burn. Just an exceptional Bourbon.
