This Oaxacan Old Fashioned is a special collaboration with Phil Ward, the legendary bartender who actually created this modern classic back in 2007. It offers a sophisticated split base of smooth reposado tequila and smoky mezcal, delivering a bar strength experience that tastes like it was stirred right in front of you. Because it is bottled at a sturdy 74 proof, it is designed to be poured over a large ice cube to let the complex layers of agave and spice slowly unfold. It is a brilliant way to enjoy a world class cocktail at home without needing a shelf full of ingredients.
