This is a lovely cocktail. It's not exactly recognizable as an "Old Fashioned", but it follows the traditional recipe and it absolutely works. The lime twist works better than the orange, though, melding wonderfully with the Falernum.

Made with Ron Del Barillito three star, which is aged 6-10 yrs. Follow more of a plain method of a barspoon of pure cane simple syrup and angostura bitters, one good dash. Lime twist and a round cube…..excellent !

Made this with Bolivar 8 and Plantation OFTD Overproof. Simply delicious. 5 star +.

The overproof rum really does make this. Just did a 500ml batch freezer door version using Doorly's 12, Wry and Nephew white over proof, Bitter Truth falernum and coconut water for dilution (pour straight from the bottle over ice, so dilution is needed for a batched cocktail). Really nice. I'm going to experiment with adding Stiggin's Fancy, too.

I really like the Maple Rum Old-Fashioned here on DG, but this is an interesting option if you want a boozier rum-based old-fashioned. I used Appleton Estate 8 and Wray & Nephew, so there was a fair amount of "funk", but overall enjoyable and as expected.

R.L. Seale's 10 | Don Q | JDT Velvet ... didn't care for it with this rum.

I used 6cl Plantation 3 Star, 1cl Orgeat, 1.25ml Bogart's Bitters (thanks to the amazing Difford's jigger), inspired by Jerry Thomas' Japanese Cocktail. I put a lime slice in the glass before stirring instead of a zest & it was stunning. Would recommend

Still love this since I really, really like rum. Used a Barbados aged rum and a Demerara 151 overproof. Did cut back on the sugar syrup by half (I was making two cocktails so it was easy). As before this was delightful. Liked using the darker overproof as it added more flavour and complexity to the cocktail Still a 5 for me.
