Really very good. Having not made a rum old fashioned before I was drawn to the idea of blending rums to achieve a complete drink. I have made this as specced, yet it works very well with a wide range of rums if you play with the ratios: I really didn't think Pussers naval with Barbancourt 8* had any right to work. The Falernum (or equivalent) really is critical to success I think, along with the right garnish.

Used 2oz Ron Izalco 130 proof (Maisano's store pick), subbed agave nectar as the sweetener. Everything else as written above; beautiful.

I used 12 year El Dorado, 3 star Plantation, used a spoon of Dram to replace the Falernum, and a touch of maple syrup for the sugar, (and 2 dashes of angostura), and a lime peal…it tasted successful! A great rum sipper.

Flor de Cana 7yo 50ml, Clairin Communal 10ml, Monin Falernum Syrup 7,5ml and 2 dashes Elemakule Tiki Bitters garnished with an expressed lime zest. My recipe for an Tiki Rum Old Fashioned; what a treat!!!

I agree. This is a near perfect Rum Old Fashioned...

Great cocktail. I made it with aged and white Rhum Agricole from Guadeloupe. This gives very authentic flavors. Then, I agree lime zest twist fits better.

This cocktail is definitely delicious when made by the book. However it's also worth trying it with a lime zest twist instead of orange, as a reminiscent spirit of the ti-punch...

Used demerara Rum for the Gold. Backed off a little of the sugar syrup. Perfect for a warm afternoon cocktail with cheese, crackers, and nuts.
