IBA Classic Alcoholic Expensive Savory

古典鸡尾酒是鸡尾酒经典中最古老、最受崇敬的鸡尾酒之一,仅用威士忌(波本或黑麦)、安格斯特拉苦精、糖(方糖或简单糖浆)和少量水制成。它体现了鸡尾酒这个词的原始含义——烈酒、糖、苦精和水——起源于19世纪。简洁之中创造出让烈酒特性闪耀的和谐饮品。

History & Origins

The Old Fashioned has roots in the late 18th century when "cocktail" first appeared in print (1806) as a mixture of spirits, sugar, water, and bitters — essentially the recipe still used today. The term "Old Fashioned" emerged in the 1880s as drinkers requested cocktails be made in the traditional fashion, distinguishing them from newer, more complex recipes. It was codified in numerous bartending manuals through the 19th and 20th centuries and remains the world's most ordered classic cocktail.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Warm bourbon vanilla and caramel with aromatic bitters and a bright citrus note from the expressed orange peel. Palate: Full-bodied and spirit-forward with bourbon's characteristic sweet corn, caramel, and oak playing against the subtle sweetness of the dissolved sugar and the complex spice of the Angostura Bitters. Finish: Long, warm, and complex with fading spice, oak, and a persistent sweetness.

Pro Tip

Use a single large ice cube or a hand-cut chunk of clear ice to minimise dilution and maximise the visual impact of this spirit-forward cocktail as it slowly chills.
