- Elijah Craig Barrel Proof B525: The powerful, oak-driven backbone of this luxurious libation.
- Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup: Doubling down on those rich, sweet, and woody barrel notes for an unparalleled depth of flavor.
- Cinzano Sweet Vermouth: Adding a smooth, sweet complexity that harmonizes with the high-proof bourbon.
- Bonfire Bitters: Introducing a bold, smoky, and aromatic layer that perfectly contrasts and elevates the bourbon’s character.
- Brandied Cherry & Fresh Lemon Twist: A touch of fruit and bright citrus aroma to round out this sophisticated sipper.
