I like Knob creek or Makers 46 for an Old Fashioned. In fact, I think I had about 8 of them last night....
I have simple tastes. had this combination at Prohibition Kitchen in St. Aug and it's been my favorite. They let you choose the three main ingredients.
1Buffalo Trace
2Orange bitters / zest
3Simple syrup
orange wedge garnish

I make my old fashioned’s personally and in my restaurant the muddled way, which I learned from the old bartender in my dads Italian restaurant.
I muddle cherry, orange slice, simple syrup and bitters in a rocks glass. Add whatever bourbon you like and ice. This might be sacralidge but I give it one quick shake. Then top it off with a splash of soda. I pretty much order an old fashioned wherever I go and most of the time the fruit is not muddled. Doesn’t stop me from drinking them but I prefer it that way.

The difference between the new and classic Old Fashioned. I would bet most places muddle now.
You would be surprised. I often have to ask to have the fruit muddled.
I yield the balance of my time to the chair.Point acknowledged.
2 ounces of Four Roses Single Barrel or Buffalo Trace.
2 dashes Peychaud's barrel-aged bitters
2 dashes orange bitters
You know the rest
If you ever find yourself at the Ravenous Pig in Winter Park, their old fashioned with candied bacon is worth the cost.

I drank more buffalo trace and peychauds than I intended last night and ended up watching The Godfather saga until dawn...
Sounds like a damn good Friday night. I plan on doing the same tonight with UFC.
Usually use Bulliet Rye for them, but recently bought a bottle of Old Grand Dad 114 and it made a fantastic Manhatten. Highly recommend OGD 114 ($30ish for a 750ml)!
