About
Every year, Anu Shukla (@anushu802) drops his butter-pecan wash back into the world, and every year I swear it is the flavor of the season. He has done it with bourbon and he has done it with rum, so this time I met him in the middle and went split-base with bourbon and overproof Jamaican rum. I reached for some falernum bitters gifted to me by Michael Shea at Rum Club (@rumclubpdx), but Angostura or any aromatic bitters will get you there.Cheers y’all!
