Batch & Bottle Monkey Shoulder Lazy Old Fashioned

I'm really liking this whole Batch & Bottle line up. Tried the Hendrix Martini and it was very good. I didn't expect much, bottled cocktails aren't my thing. I mix them fresh and I'm demanding about the ingredients and construction. But the martini made me want to check out the rest of the line - a sale for $10 per and a three day stay at a hotel gave me the impetus to give the line another a shot. The Old Fashioned isn't my drink. I like them fine, but I'm more a Manhattan guy if I'm looking for a whiskey cocktail. That said, I DO enjoy an good Old Fashioned every now and then. This pre-batched version made with Monkey Shoulder scotch is surprisingly good! Sweet enough and not too whisky forward. But not TOO sweet. A hint of bitters. A very good balance. This is the PERFECT solution for a hotel stay. Wow! This is impressive for a $10 bottle that has at least 4 good cocktails in it. Compare that to $15 per for Knob Creek on the rocks at the Hilton Orlando bar. There's nothing left to say. I purchased the scotch Manhattan, too, but I'll save that for another day. It's enough to say this purchase is making this business trip much less painful and far more enjoyable. An good bottled Old Fashioned by the rooftop pool consumed from a paper cup isn't nearly as soul-sucking as a poorly made over-priced version from a hotel bar served in a glass. A winner! Highly recommended!

Very good. I was skeptical on using scotch in the Old Fashioned blend but it was a nice drink.

does what it says on the tin - blended malt, bitters, sugar - but i like mine neat!
