This week my gf and I made our way to our favorite local Brooklyn bar and restaurant Wheated.
We decided to keep going with our Bourbon experimentation. We have tried so many different single malts that switching it up once in a while to bourbon is a good way to change the palate experience. Since she and I are not Bourbon experts or not as knowledgeable as we are in Single Malts, we usually just let the owner David, guide us on the experience.
Below are some of the pretty amazing bourbons drams we had that night.
