Toronto
A 1920s rye-whiskey variation on the Old Fashioned born in Toronto: the bold herbal, menthol-driven character of Fernet-Branca is rounded out by syrup and bound by the spiced bitterness of Angostura. Stirred and strained into a coupe, it is bracing, complex, and long on the finish - a digestif-style pour for serious whiskey drinkers.
