Delicious - dark and sweet! The scotch is critical, but the Angostura may provide the most prominent flavor notes. The sherry and syrup also provide depth to the flavor - this is an excellent cocktail!

I used Bourbon (Maker's Mark) and Cream Sherry (Lustau). Outstanding! I will try different Whisk(e)ys in the future. Any other recommendations with the combo of Whisk(e)y and Sherry?

Just made this with Laphroaig, and pinched Tyler's (excellent) idea of using Black Walnut Bitters - lovely, lovely drink!

Great evening sipper watching a Christmas movie. I am not a huge fan of anything smoky, but this works. Hints of spices and a slight hint of chocolate. Did cut back on the sugar syrup by 1/3, but other than that followed the recipe.

I took inspiration and used 45ml of The Gospel Solera Rye, 10ml of Pedro, 5ml of Marionette Nocino, 5ml of maple syrup and two dashes of Angostura bitters and called it a Velvet Underground Old Fashioned - delish!

Try an Oloroso sherry for a drier and nuttier version. I use black walnut bitters and a nice bourbon.

Sounds tasty! Do you have a name for your version of this cocktail?

Agree, this is quite delicious. I used a Japanese single malt and the orange garnish is needed to add a lovely fruitiness to it.

Unbelievable how some moron would rate this 1/5. Obviously they either didn't make the drink, or they didn't make the drink correctly. I used aberlour 12 year single malt as a treat, and scrapped the sugar and use 1/2oz of alear px. Velvet is the perfect name.
