Aromatised, tamed bourbon with complex maraschino notes. Basically, a Whiskey Old Fashioned with maraschino in place of sugar syrup. Surprisingly dry...
I hadn’t tried this before, until tonight. I really like it. Well balanced flavours. I was worried the Luxardo would overpower and maybe be too dominant. I was pleasantly surprised.
Great variation on the Old Fashioned. Good balance between flavours.

I really like this. The user of both bitters provide a really nice background to the initial upfront flavour of the bourbon. Just be careful with the maraschino liquer as to much can knock the delicate balance of flavours.
Replaced one generous dash of the Angostura with cherry bitters, and floated a Luxardo cherry on a half moon of ice. I realize I lost some of the orange accent but with the bourbon I used, the cherry notes really rounded out the orange tone and made the bourbon a bit more nutty. Loved it.
