Lightly curated. Note that the original (at link) specifies making a maple syrup syrup, and stirring and straining over rocks.

While the Imbibe link traces provenance to Little Branch, there are also references out there to a similar but not identical cocktail put together at Milk & Honey that went by the same name. 

Sasha Petraske founded both Milk & Honey and Little Branch.

The cocktail's co-creators are Richard Boccato and Michael McIlroy.  They both worked at both bars. But Little Branch probably deserves the nod. In Regarding Cocktails, Boccatto's quote about this drink:

Once in the midst of a sleepy shift at Little Branch, I asked Mickey whether or not a cocktail could be built in the glass and devised with ingredients that were slightly different from those that we used to make our house Old Fashioned.

This is a modern classic & I'd think Bocatto & McIlroy's original version (rather than the minor alterations made in PDX) should be found somewhere here.

Solid though I must like lime juice more than lemon because I like the Ohana Joe better

This was my mashup of The Search for Deliciousness, Maximilian Affair, and Little Giuseppe. It was created at home in 2019 at served at the Fenix Speakeasy at Nahita in Boston. For more information: https://cocktailvirgin.blogspot.com/2019/02/carlotas-collapse.html

Slightly punch-y. Distinctive and impressive in a go-back-to way.

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.
