That is as accurate and correct as any explanation/history of the Old Fashioned as any I've ever heard. Good job.

Imagine being a bartender and calling Bulleit BOURBON a RYE whiskey.

Does this mean that Jacob has left the CA restaurant he was at when he started his channel?

I'd like to know more about a trend that has not made it to the states, yet. In Spain and Portugal, gin and tonics are commonly served in balloon glasses with juniper berries and lemon peel. They can also be served with a myriad of other ingredients, mint, cucumber, hibiscus flowers etc. It takes the drink to a whole new level. I'm not certain why the trend has not caught on in the US.

My dad was ordering old fashioned before Mad Men. I guess I'm flexing. But watever. I don't even know what Mad Men even is.
