Applewood

There is a whiskey bar in the city I love to visit called Proof. They have all sorts of whiskey cocktails and drams that you could have poured for you. Normally I get an old fashioned made with Woodford Reserve, but they have another drink called the Applewood. It's similar to an old fashioned (or at least I think it is) but one of the main differences is that the garnish is a few slices of apple with nutmeg and the glass itself is infused with wood smoke. It's what I picture autumn to be in a cocktail: warm, smoky, a little fruity, and all around delicious. Note: please consume alcohol responsibly. 18/52
