Spent enough money drinking these when we go out. I want to make them at home. Curious what bourbon you guys like in them?

Makers Mark is good in an Old Fashon. Angels Envy bourbon and Rye is also good. Proof make an Old Fashon mix that is very good. Simply add your choice of spirit and an orange peel twist and Bordeaux cherry.

A good bourbon, cube sugar, fresh orange and a cherry. Proper technique.

I had a old fashioned party - actually 3 of them because you can’t drink more than 3 of them in one night if you are smart. We did - burbon wise Horse Soldier 4 roses single barrel Bullet Wheel horse (Rye) Buffalo trace Bullet Elija Craig Blantons Bitters wise - Angostura Brothers walnut Preychards 4 roses makes a darn smooth old fashioned… Horse soldier has enough heat (spice and bite) to make a damned good one…. Others preferred Bullet & buffalo trace. For sure use Luxardo cherries instead of regular manachinoS Also be darn sure to carmelize orange peel into the drink (squeeze / spray over a flame) And for best results smoke the sucker with Cherry wood.

4 Roses is my preferred for an old fashioned. Spotshooter is spot on with his post, especially the cherries.

Heard about them. Never had one. Was in a high(ish) end steakhouse in s tx. Ordered one and the waiter brought it out in what looked like small lantern. A little smoke box, I was supposed to open the door and get my drink out. It sucked worse than the overpriced beef that eventually followed it.

That's what I thought, but I'm certainly not an expert on either drink.

According to legend, WI consumes more brandy than the rest. Because we have an old fashioned with everything, made with brandy. Had 3 tonight after dinner myself.
He is not wrong about the bitters either... my local bar does simple syrup. The hotel/supperub I frequent does a sugar cube instead.
