High West Old Fashioned Barrel Finished Cocktail (75cl, 43%)

A pre-batched Old Fashioned from High West, made with straight bourbon whiskey, straight rye whiskey, demerara sugar and bitters. It comes in a 75cl bottle at 43% and is ready to pour over ice. Using both bourbon and rye gives earthy-sweet corn notes alongside dry rye spice. The cocktail is then rested in second-use rye whiskey barrels, which marries the flavours and adds fullness. Garnish with an orange and lemon twist. The nose offers cassia bark, licorice root, eucalyptus, orange spice tea and sandalwood. On the palate come orange zest, dried cherry, sassafras, allspice and orange cinnamon buns, followed by black pepper, cola and cinnamon on the finish.
