Boston Harbor Distillery Old Fashioned

A perfectly balanced Old Fashioned Cocktail in a bottle made from all the right stuff.

Rhonda Kallman is a sharp, savvy businesswoman. She was a founding partner of The Boston Beer Company — famous for their Samuel Adams Boston Lager and Angry Orchard Hard Cider, among other beverages. She went on to found New Century Brewing. Her story was even featured in the 2009 movie "Beer Wars." And then in 2011 she founded Boston Harbor Distillery, building out her stills in a historic 1859 brick warehouse in the Harbor District where the team makes Whiskey, Rum, Liqueurs, and other Spirits.

What does the word "simple" mean to you? Simple doesn’t necessarily mean "easy." Some of the simplest things are difficult to execute. For example, take the Old Fashioned Cocktail. It is comprised of just three ingredients — Whiskey, bitters, and pure sugar. Sounds simple, right? But it matters what Whiskey, which bitters, and the proper proportions.

Boston Harbor Distillery Old Fashioned is a bottled cocktail that gets it just right. The base is their award-winning Rye Whiskey. They add Angostura bitters — THE gold standard in the business — and Demerara sugar (natural blond sugar from the Guianas). All you need is a glass, rocks, and a cherry.

Smartass Corner:
The Old Fashioned Cocktail was invented in the mid-1800s and official named and listed in 1880. It is one of the few IBA Official Cocktails.
