Less is more. Tastes too similar to an A La Louisiane. Calvados replacing the Laird's BiB I used might help. Nothing particularly unique overall. Used Wild Turkey 101, Rittenhouse Rye, Laird's BiB, and a Cognac I would label 'generic'. Quality demerara syrup and Ango for the aromatic and cocoa. What am I missing here? Equal parts of four spirits just for the sake of it?

Fascinating cocktail. Deliciously dry and perfectly balanced. I only had a little muscovado syrup left, so topped it up with a mill or two of Luxardo. Perfect balance of the ingredients and charmingly dry. The mole bitters work beautifully with the whiskers to create a malty kind of flavour. Would definitely have again.

This is a fantastic Old Fashioned riff. I would say the Conference and Oaxacan Old Fashioned from Death and Co, as well as Jamie Boudreau's Cubed Old Fashioned, are probably my top 3 Old Fashioned recipes out there.

Great for evening sipping or a nightcap.

A winner. Very pleased with this drink, which I prepared for the first time yesterday. Attractive hue, enticing scent, and a sophisticated, complex melange of flavors with, exactly as described, all in balance and none singing out of tune. I did not have the mole bitters and substituted with El Guapo Chicory Pecan.

Lovely, sophisticated cocktail that's very quick and easy to make. I'll adding it to my regular rotation.

Loved it- was a bit doubtful due to mixing rye & bourbon- will try a version with just one, but Calvo & Cognac the bitters & syrup make it sing! Cheers!
