An elevated Saratoga Cocktail with elegant nutty cherry and anise herbal notes.

History

In thinking about how the 1862 Saratoga Cocktail from Jerry Thomas could be converted into the Vieux Carré by the addition of Benedictine and Peychaud's, I then pondered how the Saratoga would be with the "Improved" treatment of Maraschino and absinthe first described in Jerry Thomas' second edition. Given that the town of Saratoga Springs NY was one full of gambling houses, horse races, cocktail bars, spas, and most importantly hotels, I dubbed this one after a hotel there that opened around the time that the Improved style hit the scene.

Buffalo Trace

Distilling at what is now Buffalo Trace in Frankfort probably began in the 1850’s, but Edmund Haynes Taylor (yes, there’s an E.H. Taylor line) bought whatever was there and renamed it the “Old Fire Copper” distillery (OFC) in 1870. After an 1872 expansion, George T. Stagg (yep, there’s a BT label named after him as well) bought the place in 1878 only to have it struck by lightning and burn to the ground merely four years later. The 16 year old Albert Blanton (you guessed it – more whiskey named for him) started there in 1897 and was promoted to Superintendent in 1900. As Prohibition was winding down, the Schenley company bought the distillery, now named after Mr. Stagg in the wave of consolidation that saw distributors and marketers own distilleries.

In 1983, the plant was sold to some investors who were focused on the Japanese market under the name Age International. Though other companies will argue this point, what is now these investors did come up with Blanton’s. the first “single barrel” Bourbon in 1984.

    Too sweet. Less amaro and chartreuse I think.

  • Re Lacrimosa, 1 day ago Shawn C commented:

    Good, but overly stout at nearly 81 proof before ice dilution. Next time I will try it w/1.5 oz of Rittenhouse to tame the heat a little and to get the total alcohol content below 1.2 oz.

    Candy like sweet but pleasantly so. The gin is a little bit lost.

  • Re Trash & Vaudeville, 1 week ago Artur B commented:

    Too sweet. Make 2 oz Rye, 1/3 of others.

  • Re Sister Mary, 1 week ago Brooks.todd@gm… commented:

    Increased tequila to 1.5 oz and reduced St. G to 1/5 oz for better balance.
