THE STORY
In chasing the perfect Old Fashioned, we tried every combination of whiskey under the sun, but eventually conceded that you couldn’t improve on classic American spirit for this cocktail. The big question remained though, Rye or Bourbon? Purists will say Rye as it is the original heritage spirit from the turn of the century, while modern drinkers tend to prefer the sweeter corn mash bill of Bourbon.
Given the key cultural role which American whiskey has played in the heartland state of Kentucky, we wanted to do homage to both the traditional pre-prohibition Rye, which boasts a spicier and drier palate, alongside post-prohibition Bourbon, a new form of American whiskey which arose from the ashes of World War Two, when the government subsidised corn crops as an incentive for farmers to get back to industry.
Using a family-run Bourbon distilled from red winter wheat, and a complex Rye distilled from one of the industries finest master distillers, we’ve finished it off with a splash of Demerara sugar and our own blend of bitters, for a truly authentic appreciation of the last century of American whiskey making, the Kentucky Winter Old Fashioned.
