  • Interesting. It’s a bit of fuss for something that essentially tastes like bourbon. Nothing wrong with bourbon, of course.
  • A slightly better Manhattan.

Had to make a few brand swaps (3:1 Weller 12 & Dickel Rye, Cocchi Torino, Luxardo Apricot), but I enjoyed this a great deal. Will definitely be making it again... Maybe even a few minutes from now!

Updated this with a response from the creator - he prefers Fee's Whisky Barrel Aged or their Old Fashioned.  Thanks,  Zachary
