How to Smoke the Perfect Old Fashioned

There’s just something about an Old Fashioned. It asks you to slow down and taste every detail of each sip.

Ours at Velvet Buffalo takes that idea a step further, adding a touch of smoked oak that lingers just long enough to make you lean in for the next sip. 

How it starts: 

It starts simply with a few dashes of bitters, followed by just enough simple syrup to round the edges.  

Then comes the heart of it all: Woodford Reserve Bourbon - always rich, warm and steady – stirred together gently to let all the flavors come together.  

The moment that sets it apart 

The glass is filled with oak smoke, then covered and left to settle. The big reveal: lift the cover and a ribbon of smoke escapes, carrying notes of toasted oak and warmth that settle in before the first sip. 

Pour, sip and let it unfold. It has just the right balance of a little sweetness and a little smoke. It’s familiar but has a story to tell. Exactly how an Old Fashioned should feel.
