Velvet Old Fashioned
The use of a good Pedro Ximénez sherry and achieving the correct level of dilution is key to the success of this potentially brilliant cocktail

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?

Bourbon for Scotch; Oloroso for PX; Black walnut for angostura bitters?
I suggest that this be called "Trigger's Velvet Old Fashioned"
(for non-Brits, Trigger's Broom, like Grandfather's Axe and the Ship of Theseus is something that has every single component replaced, while somehow retaining something of the original identity).
