Review: Sunday’s Finest Gold Fashioned Bottled Cocktail

On the spectrum of old fashioneds, (well, in my experience, but I’ve put a lot of work into taking a representative sample) it’s sweeter than average: caramelly, with lightly oaky vanilla carried by a central-casting whiskey flavor. I pick up the balancing of the bitters but not saffron. Overall it’s quite smooth. Final Thoughts: Sunday’s Finest Gold Fashioned is completely adequate, better than many old fashioneds, but also not revolutionary. The citrus cleaner aroma, though not disagreeable, was dissonant to the whole experience. Would I pony up the cash for my own bar? No, but I find making an old fashioned to my liking pretty simple and I have the ingredients around most of the time. This would be a great gift for that challenging recipient who has everything and not the inclination to pick up a bar spoon.
