A Quiet Pairing: Pledge Purple and Bourbon at Sunset

By From http://www.musingsoverabarrel.com/ • Apr 18th, 2026 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

This weekend got off to a delightful start. With mild temperatures and low humidity, the screened porch was especially inviting. Despite the still-high pollen levels, I opened the windows to let in the breeze. While scanning the humidor for an evening …
