My first stray away from the 12, if my memory serves, which is a whisky I was very fond of last time out. This was a most welcome Father's day gift but perhaps not something I would have bought for…

Ah Bulleit - the bourbon that made me sit up and take notice of the spirit after some previously unappealing encounters with that other famous bourbon, er I mean Tennessee whiskey. And I remember it…
