I believe you are referring to a different cocktail! The one I am thinking about is referenced here. According to the author of the article, it seems to be David Wondrich's creation.

Thank you for this guide. Note that there's also the Old Bay Ridge cocktail named after a Brooklyn neighborhood, created by David Wondrich. It is basically an old-fashioned made from a split base of Aquavit and Rye whiskey. Very nice!
