Old Fashioned

Here’s a drink speaks for itself. The Old Fashioned is a classic in every sense and still one of the best ways to showcase your favourite rye or bourbon. However, if someone did have to speak for it, that person would be Don Draper.

Some might argue that we have Don Draper of Mad Men to thank for romanticising the Old Fashioned and bringing it back into popular culture. We think the drink speaks for itself — a classic in every sense and still one of the best ways to show off your favourite rye or bourbon.
