How to make a Spiced Rum Old Fashioned

Patreon: bit.ly/stb-patreon

A variation of the Old Fashioned using Holland gin (Genever) was first mentioned in Jerry Thomas' Bartenders Guide: How to Mix Drinks in 1862 (amzn.to/1N98Ap9). It wasn't mentioned with whiskey until 1880.
It was apparently first created by a bartender in Louisville, Kentucky at The Pendennis Club.

Today, we are making a twist on the Old Fashioned using St Lucia's Distillers Chairman's Reserve & Chairman's Reserve Spiced rum.
