Bourbon Belle
Stir, strain, straight up, cocktail glass, garnish
Consider 2oz bourbon for a more reasonably sized drink. Cocktail Virgin Slut recommends Carpano Antica.
- Used Jim Beam Peach bourbon.
- A lot like a Manhattan, but with the nose of peach. Subtle.

Updated the link, thank you both!
Reduced bourbon to 2 oz and increased peach liquor to 0.75 as others have suggested.
Also, altered to bitters to 2 dashes each of peach bitters and cardamom bitters. Might need a little more spice.
