History

The base spirit is inspired by Harry Truman, 33rd US President, a bourbon-only drinker considered by some to be "the last great Democrat."

Created in 2007 by Jon Santer at Bourbon & Branch in San Francisco, USA, this cocktail was conceived as "a kind of ode to the south - a democratic stronghold for so long."
