That MGP goodness • Hughes Belle of Bedford • Nine(9) Year • Straight Rye Whiskey • Major thank you to the team @hugheswhiskey for sending this over to try • Have heard nothing but great things about some of their latest releases • If you fortunate to come across some of the offerings I think it’s safe to say, grab it and enjoy it • If your a fan of MGP whiskies they are sitting on some older barrels, don’t hesitate cause I’m sure they won’t last long • #belleofbedfordrye https://www.instagram.com/p/CO-wXjbt8bh/?igshid=dwln6bfn4me5

Coalition • Kentucky Straight Rye • Barrel Proof • New comer into the scene, coolest part, not distilled in Indiana • A five year barrel proof rye, using rye grown one mile from the distillery definitely makes for some cool history • Its a tad young, but lots of promise here • Really love that it’s all made in house and really excited to see where this goes with more time • #coalitionrye https://www.instagram.com/p/CO58tdCNw-V/?igshid=102yfiy3kqvyz

Which one wins?! • Been on an Islay kick lately, theres so much goodness in all three of these bottles • Islay, peat, smoke, may not be for everyone, but I would always recommend trying something from any one of these distilleries and go into with an open mind • Embrace the smoke and peat and you may end up peeling back layers you never thought were there • #ardbeg #lagavulin #laphroaig https://www.instagram.com/p/CN-hBNrAwaT/?igshid=1g6gh0e4flec6

Laphroaig • 10 Year • Sherry Oak Finish • Simply put, WOW • If your a fan of sherried peaty whiskies, then rejoice, @laphroaig has hit a grand slam • Sherry glazed smoked meats, just layer after layer of complexity, vicious oily, full mouthfeel, this stuff is freakin killer • Not too sure they’ve hit the states yet, massive thanks to @matthewjryan8137 pointing me in the right direction to get these for an awesome price shipped from overseas • When they hit stateside, I highly recommend seeking out, stuff is real deal • #laphroaig https://www.instagram.com/p/CNsOToCMxqq/?igshid=pjtd4ja4vtzw
