Had the pleasure of trying some of the bourbons I’ve been wanting to try for the past year last night. Never been to Whiskey Cake but heard they had a great whiskey list, indeed they did not disappoint. I was most excited for the RR13 since RB is my favorite regular pour. All pours were (I think) 1 oz served in a glencairn style glass, rested a while.
