Well, I'm going to pop it for the first time right here. Took off the label, right? So I'm going to pop it, the cork. Oh, that's a pop. That means it's bottled perfectly. And I'm going to pour it.

165.398 - 167.019 Amy McGrath

Oh, I hear that.

167.039 - 181.591 Denver Riggleman

Did you hear that? Did you hear that? Yes, that's right. That's right. So, hey, so this is a, oh my God, the nose. Remember, you know, we've had this a while back, but I'm just smelling it. It's 93 proof. Just to let people know. So that's 46.5% ABV. Um,
