Day 36 | 24 Days to Retirement
60 Days. 60 Bottles. One Legacy.
Pour: Archer Eland Suede Straight Rye Whiskey, aged 7 years, 126 proof
Some things get misread at first glance.
That’s what stayed with me about this pour.
On paper, a 126-proof rye can make people think they already know what they’re getting. But every now and then, a bottle reminds you that strength and nuance can live in the same glass.
And honestly, life will teach you that too.
The closer I get to retirement, the more I appreciate what it means to be seen in full — not just for the edge, not just for the proof, but for the depth and shape underneath it.
That same sensibility is finding its way into the work I’m building through The Bourbon Goddess — curated bourbon tastings, pairing experiences, and bourbon storytelling designed to feel thoughtful, layered, and memorable.
If you’re planning something worth remembering, let’s make it feel that way.
