A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

As The Seasons Grey

Created and posted by applejack.
1 oz Rye, Rittenhouse
1 oz Bourbon, Old Grand Dad 100
1⁄4 oz Coffee liqueur, St. George (NOLA)
1⁄4 oz Maple syrup (Grade A Dark Color, Robust Taste)
2 ds Bitters, Fee Brothers Black Walnut
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Bitters, Angostura Orange
1 Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Stir, strain into old fashioned glass with a large cube or sphere. Garnish with an orange swath. If you're feeling ambitious, you can also smoke the drink with maplewood.

Notes

The St. George NOLA Coffee Liqueur is drier than most large producer coffee liqueurs, so adjust ratios or add another dash of Angostura bitters if using something sweeter.

I prefer using "Grade A Dark Color, Robust Taste" syrup (formerly Grade B) in cocktails due to its stronger, more intense maple flavor.

Bourbon After the Act

The second in this series, our story resumes with the Bottled in Bond Act of 1897. Read them all: Bourbon, Bourbon After the Act, Bourbon: What it is ... and isn't, Making Bourbon, Who Makes My Bourbon, Producer Capsules., Finding the Good Stuff, Tasting the Good Stuff, Neat, Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources.

The Act created a new type of whiskey, called Bonded, or Bottled-in-Bond (BIB). Bonded whiskey must be the product of one year’s distilling, from a single distillery, aged in a Federally supervised warehouse for no less than four years, and bottled at 100 proof. All Bonded whiskey has a DSP (Distilled Spirits Plant) code on it, the complete list of which can be found online.

The Bottled in Bond Act was brilliant on two levels. On the producer side, people like Colonel E.H. Taylor (of Old Taylor fame, though there’s now an EH Taylor bottling) fought for government supervision of their aging stocks because the public would know exactly what they were buying. On the government’s side, Treasury Secretary John Carlisle wanted to ensure proper payment of Federal tax, which had been a major source of both revenue and headache since 1791’s Whiskey Rebellion.

    Really quite lovely. Blueberries and lemon are perfect, and the elderflower really sinks right into the drink in a lovely way

  • Re Smoke, Nearby, 8 hours ago Shawn C commented:

    It should be "each" but "brandied cherry" in the KC ingredients list had default units of oz. (The recipe says to put cherry on the bottom, and if the syrup was required it should be clearly stated and can be listed as "cherry syrup".) I have corrected the recipe, and updated the KC brandied cherry ingredient default unit to "each".
