What is a Very Old Fashioned?

One of the most famous, notorious, loved cocktail recipes in the world. A balance of the right herbal and intense cocktail ingredients makes the perfect Aged Old Fashioned. The classic Old Fashioned is a cocktail of bourbon whiskey, sugar (cube or syrup), bitters and ice cubes. But the Old Fashioned has become a category of cocktails in its own right with many differed aged spirits now used as the base spirit. These spirits range from a Barrel Aged Genever that has a similar malty taste to bourbon to an Añejo tequila or aged rum.

The Old Fashioned's composition puts the base spirit in the spotlight and strengthens the flavour of the spirit by gradually stirring it with bitters, sugar and ice cubes until all the ingredients are perfectly mixed. Strong but not too strong, slightly sweet, somewhat bitter, and nice and cold. Aromatic thanks to the base spirit, the bitters and through perfuming with orange zest.

Pour all the ingredients into a rocks glass. Add around four ice cubes. Stir it for 10 seconds and then fill the glass with ice cubes. Stir for another 20 seconds. If necessary, add more ice cubes until the glass is full, garnish and perfume the cocktail with orange zest.
