How it tastes
Whisky-forward. The sugar softens the alcohol bite. The bitters add the bridge between whisky and the orange peel oil that hits your nose with every sip. Drinks slow. Develops in the glass over 15 minutes as the ice melts. We've found this is the drink most people order to test how good a bar actually is.
Why it's on our menu
You can't run a bar with classics on the menu and skip the Old Fashioned. We make it the way our preferred bartenders do: bourbon by default (because it's the most forgiving base), demerara syrup instead of muddled sugar (cleaner texture), one large ice cube (slow dilution).
For something more layered, see our low-ABV coffee variants or the Scented Negroni.
Where to drink it
