A Spontaneous Libation for your Consideration

Heat of the Moment

Created and posted by yarm.
1 1⁄2 oz Rye (I used Rittenhouse Bonded)
1⁄2 oz Zucca (Sfumato would work too)
1⁄2 oz Amaro Montenegro
1⁄2 oz Demerara syrup (1:1)
4 lf Mint (4-6 leaves)
1 spg Mint (1-3 sprigs as garnish)
Instructions

Muddle mint in syrup and liqueurs in a double old fashioned glass. Remove mint, add rye, and stir to mix. Fill with crushed ice, garnish with mint sprigs, and add straws.

History

For Loyal Nine's Yacht Rock Sundays, I wanted to create a Julep, and since I already had a Bourbon drink on the menu, I opted for rye. I also wanted to take an amari route, and i remembered how Zucca worked well with mint in other recipes. Amaro Montenegro seemed like it would sooth those bitter notes, but it still needed some demerara syrup to find its happy resting place. Named after one of the songs on the Sunday night Spotify list.

Mashbills, Geeky Information and Resources

This is the last installment in a series on Bourbon by Zach Pearson. 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.

As a note, I can’t claim credit for any of this. This section is the work of a couple of users on the StraightBourbon.com website, mainly Josh, Oscar and a guy named Taanstafl2 – and see the note just below. But it’s too important to leave out even if it’s a bit more advanced.

For mashbills, I referred to The Book of Bourbon and Other Fine American Whiskeys by Regan & Regan, 2009, unless otherwise noted. Barton, WT, and Dickel are noted as approximate.

I use the format: Distillery Brand Name (%corn/%rye or wheat/%malted barley). This is a breakdown of "macro" distillers. Wondering what the different char levels look like? This is a good illustration.

    It's absolutely the 7 year.

    Tastes wonderful, but I sure would like to get mine to look like that picture... my color was amber from pineapple - not much red in the ingredients...

    Presumably the 7yr as that is the only one I have ever come across. It is the basic Old Monk. Unless stated otherwise in a recipe, assume this is the one.

    Which Old Monk do I use? I have three available near me that I can purchase: the 7 year, the 12 year, and The Legend.
