This is ready-to-serve cocktail has a flavor profile that is sweet and rich, combining notes of smoky bourbon, prominent cherry, and a hint of chocolate. It is designed to emulate a classic Old Fashioned with a decadent, dessert-like twist.

Aroma: The initial aroma is rich with sweet cherry notes, reminiscent of Maraschino cherries or homemade cherry pie filling. There are also hints of almond extract and vanilla, with the smoky backbone of the bourbon present.
Palate: The taste is characterized by a blend of sweet, tart cherry and rich chocolate, balanced by the depth of Southern Tier’s smoked bourbon. The chocolate is introduced via Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters, which adds a layer of complexity and a subtle spicy foundation. Reviewers of similar flavor profiles note the sweetness is prominent, sometimes described as candy-like or syrupy, balanced by some tartness and the warmth of the alcohol.
Mouthfeel: It has a smooth, thick-bodied, almost syrupy texture with low carbonation, creating a velvety feel on the palate.
Finish: The finish is described as long-lasting, with a lingering sweetness and cherry flavor. The smoky oak backbone from the bourbon and a faint nuttiness persist in the aftertast.
