It’s one of the more compelling releases for someone who enjoys high-proof bourbon but wants a distinctly polished, contemplative profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Wine Merchants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51569637228850,"sku":"080686011873","price":159.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/lb10.png?v=1786667151","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/little-book-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-chapter-10-all-the-wiser-2026","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
