I suggest you to try 50:50 peated whiskey:bourbon. My preferred recipe:
40ml Port Charlotte 10
40ml Elijah Craig Small Batch
15ml sugar syrup
3 dash Angostura bitters
Enjoy!
Ahhhh....the ever elusive perfect old fashioned has come pretty close to perfection with this recipe. 5 stars!
Borderline too sweet for my taste with cane sugar so will try with demerrara sugar next time or reduce the cane sugar. Also thinking of maybe 'cutting' it with a dash of Rittenberg for some bite.
I love this! Strong, sweet and extremely aromatic. Was sold on this cocktail after my first trial version and then went and bought a tray for making big ice cubes for the full old fashioned experience. It’s a drink I keep coming back to.
To whoever may read this; if you haven't already tried it, stop what you're doing and make an Old Fashioned with Redbreast Irish Whiskey. Trust me it's delicious.
One of the finest combinations there is. Apart from being the classic that it is in every way, it is easy to make, but getting it perfect, well that an entirely different story!
