Review:

A tasty Bourbon Sour, Muddled Fruit Old Fashioned and Maple Old Fashioned mashup that's very sippable. This is a utilitarian cocktail that doesn't suit highfalutin niceties such as block ice.

Very nice base to play around with, can't wait to try it with a rye or a more sour bourbon. I used Buffalo Trace
