Theres a million ways to make an old fashioned. We aren’t claiming our way is the best way, but we believe that keeping it simple and focusing on the delicious Gunpowder Rye Whiskey from New England Distillery isn’t a bad start. Whiskey, bitters, lightly sweetened with the syrup from a luxardo cherry garnish, and the scent of an orange and lemon peel. Nothing more, nothing less.
