• 2oz Ardbeg Wee Beastie 5yr
• 5 dashes of black walnut bitters
• 1 barspoon of maple syrup

stir the above with ice for 30 seconds, then strain into a fresh rocks glass over a big cube, express an orange peel on top, and drop it in if ya like

this might be my new favorite old fashioned variation. all together, it tastes like a smokey dark-chocolate in the best way, and that hint of orange oil aroma compliments the flavor so well. you could probably increase the amount of maple or drop a few dashes of the bitters if you wanted it less-bitter/more-sweet, but to my tastes this is perfect!
