Smoked Chili Old Fashioned (Wilderness Trail Rye / Hella Bitters Smoked Chili / Seldom Seen Farms Bourbon Barrel-Aged Maple Syrup)
NAS Rye Wilderness Trail Distillery

Spicy rye character enhanced by the smoky, peppery notes of the smoked chili bitters; subtle maple undertones from the bourbon barrel-aged syrup add depth and sweetness.

Medium spice from the rye amplified by the heat and smoke from the hella bitters; the bourbon barrel-aged maple syrup provides viscosity and caramel sweetness balanced against the chili's intensity.

Lingering heat and smoke with a warm, peppery sensation; the maple syrup creates a slightly creamy mouthfeel that softens the spice.

Top notch
A bold and creative old fashioned that successfully melds spice, smoke, and maple sweetness into a memorable, well-constructed cocktail perfect for warm weather sipping.
