History

Adapted from a recipe created in 2009 by Ian Scalzo at Bourbon & Branch bar in San Francisco, USA. Eponymously named after the noted American architect who designed more than 1,000 structures over his 70-year career. Wright influenced other architects throughout the world who also sought to design in harmony with humanity and the environment, a philosophy he termed "organic architecture". His most famous work, Fallingwater in Pennsylvania was built in 1935, partly over a waterfall, as a weekend retreat house for Liliane and Edgar J. Kaufmann, the owner of Pittsburgh's Kaufmann's Department Store. The property is now a National Historic Landmark.

Very nice. I’m going to try it again with rye or Canadian whisky too - I always find bourbon a bit sweet. I added a shake of Fee Bros Black Walnut Bitters to punch up the walnut flavour.

Delicious cocktail. As punchy as an Old Fashioned but with beguiling subtlety. Another addition to 'Favourites'.

Alan Brown Premium Member 3y

Peach-flavoured whiskey? Or peat-flavoured whisky?

Thanks, Alan. Now corrected to peated whisky. I was a little too hasty selecting options from our drop menu of ingredients.

Ha! Now that Simon's corrected the recipe to peated whiskey, his next task is to create a cocktail using the Jim Beam Peach Bourbon I finally managed to acquire (after, yes, about 26 weeks!) in order to try and make this one :-)
