Background & History

"...as rich and decadent as an Old-Fashioned gets, but there's not a drop of sugar syrup in it." - Cocktail Codex The sweetness instead comes from the raisiny sherry and vanilla liqueur, which balance out the nutty Cognac and sesame seed-infused rum. The bitters ties it all togethter.
