The Oak Room
A barrel-aged Old Fashioned blueprint — equal parts bourbon and aged rum, married for two weeks in a used bourbon cask with a demerara wash. What emerges is something that no longer belongs to either spirit: dark fruit, char, and time.
Served in a rocks glass · Garnish: Wide orange peel · Difficulty: medium
