Tasting Notes

Aroma: Warm caramel and toasted oak rise first, followed by a thread of aromatic bitters and a whisper of dried orange peel. The high proof carries the aromatics with real intensity.

Taste: The entry is rich and whiskey-forward, with brown sugar sweetness meeting the palate immediately. Mid-palate, baking spice and bitter orange develop, balanced by a measured sweetness that keeps the cocktail from tipping heavy. The 100 proof backbone gives the drink genuine weight and texture.

Finish: Long and warming, with lingering oak tannins and a dry, bitters-driven close. The finish recalls a well-made bar Old Fashioned stirred down over a large ice cube.

How to Drink St Elmo Old Fashioned

Pour directly over a large ice cube or sphere in a rocks glass and garnish with an expressed orange peel and a cocktail cherry. The 100 proof concentration means the drink opens up beautifully as the ice slowly dilutes it, much like a bartender-stirred cocktail reaching its ideal temperature. For a smokier twist, try it over ice with a barspoon of mezcal floated on top. A few dashes of walnut bitters added to the pour create a nuttier, more complex variation suited to cooler months. It also works well lengthened slightly with a splash of club soda for a lighter, effervescent take.

• Gifting a whiskey lover who appreciates a ready-made, full-strength cocktail
