Espresso Chocolate Old-Fashioned Tasting Notes:
When you sip this old-fashioned the chocolaty taste comes first. Then comes the bourbon as I used the 100 proof and finally you get a hint of the espresso coming through. This will wake you up and if you want more espresso go to .75 oz of espresso to make that a leading flavor in your cocktail.
Conclusion:
When you are a bit tired get an Espresso Chocolate old-fashioned. This will give you the energy to get through the night or hell through the entire day. As they say you can’t day drink unless you start early.
