I made this this evening with Woodford's Reserve (40% ABV here in Australia) - I normally make old fashioned with this as the wood varnish-like qualities shine. However- using in this sour along with aquafaba that same nose is there but with warm butterscotch flavour over other flavours- most surprising, next time I will knock the syrup down to 10ml. Wonderful sour.

Beautiful. I actually prefer this over the rocks version. Perfect balance of fluffiness, sourness, and the corn, baking spices and caramel of the Bourbon.

I used Fee Brothers Fee Foam Cocktail Foamer in place of the egg white. It worked wonderfully. Nice cocktail. It will definitely be revisited.

Nicely sour. Frothy head does add interesting texture to the cocktail. Subtle tastes of the corn from the bourbon comes through. Excellent any time cocktail.
