It's a nice smoked old fashioned. I do have to say the first time I made it was with crushed ice, and it diluted it way too quickly. But, when you make it with one large ice cube, it is definitely better :) You ever get a chance to make a 2020 Swizzle?? I made my drink again the other day and wondered if it was a bit too sweet, so I might reduce the falernum and see what I think. Or maybe crushed ice would do the trick--I never tested that. I also need to work on an improved way to smoke the cinnamon. As for the 2020 Swizzle, I haven't tried it yet, because I have none of the ingredients except the Hamilton (well, that's not technically true--I do have a bottle of yellow label Lemon Hart that I've never opened), and they're not easy to come by up here in the mountains, which I realize is contrary to my assertion above that it's easier to acquire ingredients these days.
