The Old Fashioned is one of the OG whiskey cocktails in modern record, thought to be developed way back in the early 1800s. Though there's too many modern variations to count,  the classic Old Fashioned is understood as a simple combination of whiskey (usually bourbon or rye), sugar and aromatic bitters.

Celebrate America’s “Native Spirit” on National Bourbon Day – June 14
There is something about bourbon that’s captured global attention. Some say the rise in bourbon sales is due to the growth of small batch and single barrel bourbon in the 1990s, while others say it has to do with the resurgence in popularity of hard-liquor swilling characters and settings on television shows such as Mad Men and Boardwalk Empire. Whatever the reason, you’ll want to raise a glass of the sweetened amber spirit in a delicious Bourbon Old Fashioned on June 14 as we celebrate the splendor of this great whiskey on National Bourbon Day!
