Old Fashioned Week 2021 – 5 to 14 November

Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned Week 2021 returns from 5 to 14 November 2021. Who would have expected a rock glass of muddled sugar, bitters & water with bourbon or rye whiskey and a garnish of orange zest or slice or a cocktail cherry would be so addictive.

Save the 10 days for the classic cocktail or try out renditions concocted by some 20 participating bars including MO Bar, The Old Man, Wooloomooloo Steakhouse, Bedrock Orchard, Studio 1939, VUE, Mr Stork, Firangi Superstar, Komyuniti, Meatsmith, ATOUT, Burnt Ends, Dusit Thani Laguna Resort amongst others.

The classic cocktail has so many different variations today, besides the traditional base of bourbon. Modern interpretations are not new to fans of Old Fashioned. Rum, Brandy, Cognac, Rye Whisky are sometimes used in place of Bourbon. You will be in for a treat this Old Fashioned Week.

June Baek at Mandarin Oriental Singapore’s award-winning MO Bar has created the Delhi Old Fashioned. She incorporates Indian Spices such as cumin and coriander. Studio 1939 at Potato Head Singapore has a rather interesting one. Akatsuki is made with red bean and cream. The white creamy glass would throw you off. Looks nothing like an Old Fashioned but makes a great dessert cocktail. Kaustubh Singh from The Old man uses fino sherry for his Salty Old Man giving it a nice savoury twist. The bartender at VUE muddles a brown sugar cube and adds Cynar and bourbon to create Antico Modello.
