Notes

If you are looking to explore different types of bourbons here is a good starting point, not that there are a lot of other flavor profiles besides the ones listed below:
  • Sweet Bourbons: Makers Mark or Bulleit
  • Spicy Bourbons: Old Forester or Willet Rye
  • Floral Bourbons: Four Roses Small Batch or Woodford Reserve
The good news is that this cocktail goes great with just about all of the different types of Bourbon.
