Old Man Around Town

This barrel aged Boulevardier riff is, well, presidential. Take that how you will...

But seriously, this old man is smooth. After aging it, try a side-by-side taste test with a fresh one. You'll see the difference.

• 125 ml Rye Whiskey

• 100 ml Campari

• 75 ml Punta Mes

• 25 ml Averna

Store all ingredients in a 375 ml bottle with a charred oak stave.

Shake well, store in a dark, cool place.

On a daily basis, open your bottle to let some gases exchange, and also give it a good shake. Do this at least every other day for three weeks. At this point you can remove the stave, then run your contents through a coffee filter to remove the stave particles.

This will last a long while on your shelf, but why you wouldn't drink it sooner is beyond me. Makes an awesome gift, and scales up just fine.
