The Old Fashioned is my favorite drink. It introduced me to whiskey and mixology plus it's simple and versatile. I think it's easy to judge if a bar has good cocktails based solely on their Old Fashioned. What are your opinions, favorite variations, etc?
I'm guessing I haven't gotten a good one. My impressions so far is that they range from slightly better to significantly worse than just drinking the Burbon directly.
I think maybe you just don't like bourbon then? But hey, it's not for everyone. I particularly enjoy whisky, so that's likely why I enjoy an old fashioned more than other drinks.
