My favorite cheap rye is Old Overholt. It definitely costs more than EWB. But if you buy a large format bottle it’s still under a dollar an ounce, and it makes a great Old Fashioned. If you have both, try a split base -- 50/50 rye/bourbon.
Thanks for breaking it down so well. I used some Demerara syrup. Here is my cocktail life hack: use oral medicine measuring cups (like come with kids’ medicines). Especially those with metric and standard measures. A fat teaspoon is really about 7.5 mL. I find it easier to measure in a cup I can put on a flat surface than a spoon I’m holding. Cheers!
Very Serious podcast appearance coming soon?
I’m always happy to appear if and when Josh and Sara want me.
Totally agree about EW. It’s been my goto economy bourbon for years. I do like a bit of orange peel in my Old Fashioned.
Pouring one out for heaven hill green label. Rest in Power.
I'm a Rye guy (Rittenhouse of course) in my OF, but I'll give this a shot anyway. Can do a 50/50.
Old fashioned week is my favorite week.
It’s good but not as good as Negroni Week
I am doing this. I have some Canadian Club Rye to try this with. I should get a bottle of Evan Williams Black too.

It was good. Just don’t have one after a McMorris scotch old fashioned. It doesn’t quite live up.
