The Smoked Maple Old Fashioned

This is my kind of cold-weather sipper. That little bit of smoke from the glass, combined with rich maple and nutty black walnut bitters, just perfectly wraps around the bourbon’s inherent spice and vanilla notes. It’s a straightforward build that delivers a genuinely satisfying, layered drink.
