Episode 52: The “Single Distillery” Revolver | Cask Strength Bourbon & Coffee Cocktail
Welcome back to Your Bourbon Journey for Episode 52 of Thirsty Thursday Cocktails! Tonight, we are heating up a cold January night with a bold, caffeinated modern classic: The Revolver.
While traditionally made with a high-rye bourbon, we are leveling up this recipe with a “Single Distillery” approach using the incredible spirits from Town Branch Distillery. We’re pairing the massive Town Branch True Cask Bourbon (Batch #005 at 108.6 proof) with the rich, bourbon-infused Bluegrass Sundown Coffee Liqueur.
The result? A velvety, high-proof riff on a Manhattan that features a “Trinity of Bitters” and a flamed orange peel showstopper. If you love Espresso Martinis or Manhattans, this is the winter cocktail you’ve been waiting for.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why High-Malt Bourbon creates a chocolatey, bready profile that loves coffee.
- How to balance a 100+ proof cocktail with proper dilution.
- The “Trinity of Bitters” (Mole, Orange, and Cherry) to bridge complex flavors.
- The secret to the Flamed Orange Peel for a smoky, caramelized citrus aroma.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 oz Town Branch True Cask Bourbon (108.6 Proof)
- 0.5 oz Bluegrass Sundown Bourbon Coffee Liqueur
- 1 Dash Mole Bitters (The Earthy Anchor)
- 1 Dash Orange Bitters (The Brightener)
- 1 Dash Cherry Bitters (The Fruit Pop)
- Garnish: Torched Orange Peel
