A rich and robust cocktail packed with festive flavor, The Henderson replaces a simple sugar syrup with a ruby port iteration for its take on the world’s best-selling cocktail, The Old Fashioned.
Secondary finished in hand-selected port wine barrels, ANGEL’s ENVY Kentucky Straight Bourbon has a distinct level of flavor and complexity to each drop. Here, combined with a ruby port syrup that uses festive cloves and oranges, its notes of vanilla, ripe fruit, maple syrup, toast and bitter chocolate are brought to the fore.
