Handy & Schiller Barreled Old Fashioned

I really enjoy this! It's convenient for having on hand ready-to-drink, and it's even better mixed with soda. I prefer this to the version made with other bourbon, likely because this is Buffalo Trace Bourbon. I'm not providing extensive details on flavor profiles, notes, and finish because my palate for Bourbon/Whiskey is still quite undeveloped, with over 50 tastings tracked but fewer than 100 as of 2022. (That's not all consumed, just all appreciated outside of shots and mixers).

Perfectly balanced sweetness and oak. The finish has a hint of creamy citrus fruit with a nice overall bourbon character. Flavors include allspice, clove, vanilla steamer, peanut brittle, chewy caramel, and roasted nuts.

A solid blend, perfect for an Old Fashioned using Buffalo Trace Bourbon and Peychaud's Bitters. It also allows for customization to your preference (I prefer extra Orange Bitters, citrus, and a dash of maraschino cherry).

An excellent old fashioned that requires no effort. To be fair, I've experienced a couple that were superior, but those were expensive, premium bar cocktails. Considering the price and ease of use, it's a solid choice. Salud!

Normally, I avoid pre-mixed Old Fashioneds, but I picked this one up on impulse. It's a tad more intense than my usual, yet it was still quite enjoyable.

A very smooth, ready-to-drink Old Fashioned. Using Buffalo Trace is a plus. A highly enjoyable beverage.
