Michters Fort Nelson Reserve Bourbon The One Dave Bottled Himself

In this episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers, Dave cracks open a near-empty bottle of Michter’s Fort Nelson Reserve — hand-bottled at the Michter’s experience in Louisville and personally labelled “Dave Collins.”

We chat about:

• 🥃 The Fort Nelson bottling experience on Whiskey Row

• 🛠️ Whether it's single barrel or vatted bourbon

• 📖 Writing your name in Michter’s bottling ledger

• 🤩 Bourbon joy that rivals Christmas morning

This is barrel-strength bourbon with a personal twist — and it hits just right.
