Thanks for the review, 🥃🔥 Check out the full review below! ⬇️

The new Chachi bourbon and Alpha rye are absolutely to die for with the flavors on both out of this world. Valentine has managed to go even a little above and beyond the already impossibly high bar they set for themselves... and I am ok with that!

The bourbon (Chachi) is a Detroit/Indiana blend at 100 proof that really brings out the oak and brown sugar you expect from Pingree along with a little extra. Apple pie? Cobbler? Yum!

The rye (Alpha), also at 100 proof, has all the sweet and spice of a perfect rye but with even more baked in. I get cherry and earthy vibes. A perfect complement. 🤤

This probably sounds like a sales pitch. It's not. I just LOVE and I know most of us do these days!

Do yourself a favor and grab either or both if you get a chance. Available in Belle's Lounge and various retailers in Detroit. Will post in comments if any local retailers are shipping to other states.
