I am embarrassed to admit that this was my first time having this well loved classic; I guess whiskey was never my choice of alcohol until very recently. So I don't exactly know what makes a good one, but I enjoyed the one here! The taste of whiskey was apparent, but not overwhelming.
I mean, if they call themselves the "Home of the Old fashioned", and are by the people behind the likes of Jigger & Pony to substantiate it, I believe I was in good hands.
