Beverage of the Week
Shucked Lulu’s Blend 7 Years Old Bourbon Whiskey
Shucked Bourbon is an absolutely beautiful and charming Whiskey. It has been matured to perfection, showing great complex caramel, toffee, fruit, and spice notes that were never dominated by the oak cask. We all love Bourbon and have seen countless examples of where the cask dominates and tramples on the spirit… See the Beverage of the Week feature
