Description

Banana Bread Old Fashioned builds a familiar baking aroma around bourbon without sacrificing the strong, stirred character of the classic. Banana liqueur gives ripe fruit, maple syrup suggests the caramelised crust and Angostura brings cinnamon-clove spice.

A single dash of chocolate bitters adds the dark roasted note that makes the flavour feel baked rather than simply fruity.
