Dude's got the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection sitting on the bar... I'd say I'm jealous, but not really. I'd just be happy to get regular Buffalo Trace products on a regular basis. You can keep the fancy stuff 😉
discovered this drink in Lafayette a few weeks ago. Have enjoyed an Old Fashion for years. This has a distinctive New Orleans taste. The Vieux Carre. if you've spent anytime in the French Quarter you'll understand.
Excellent Rye whiskey. 👍🏽 In New Orleans, we prefer a sugar cube. I consider it a perfect dilution when there’s a little bit of crystal still left in the bottom of the glass when it is served.
LOVE a split base - it's how I often make them at home (though we were bigging up BTAC in some vids for this - though Handy makes maybe the best Saz if you're going for a straight rye base)
We were fortunate enough to get them at actual wholesale price, so charged more like 25. But yeah it's a luxurious choice. 'Sazerac' Rye or Rittenhouse 100 both make an amazing one at far cheaper prices.
