Our second cocktail is the Irish Old Fashioned. An Old Fashioned variant created by Jack McGarry, which uses Irish whiskey (specifically Jameson Black Barrel Irish Whiskey).
Irish whiskey is generally sweeter than most bourbons, so McGarry replaces the sugar with Benedictine, which both adds some sweetness as well as some botanical depth, which is further enhanced by the two types of bitters.
