Approachable, with some interesting interplay of modest amounts of diverse flavors that create a slightly different twist with every sip. I will have to try the Stink Eye for comparison.

  • High-octane nose. Nice flavor balance on sip but finishes very syrupy, mouth-coating.

As The Seasons Grey

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.
