{"product_id":"tayer-cedarwood-old-fashioned","title":"Tayēr Cedarwood Old Fashioned","description":"\u003cp\u003eTayēr's Cedarwood Old Fashioned represents a meditation on what happens when a classic cocktail format meets unexpected botanical elements. This is smooth, warming, and deeply savoury  -  a drink that unfolds slowly, revealing layers of flavour and complexity with each sip. The cedarwood is not a gimmick; it is integral, providing woody warmth and subtle spice that frames the whiskey rather than overwhelming it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCrafted by Tayēr + Elementary, this Old Fashioned begins with excellent whiskey selected for its character and warmth. A sugar base, aromatic bitters, and a splash of water provide the traditional framework  -  the architectural bones of the drink. Cedarwood infusion, created through careful maceration, adds unexpected depth: warm, slightly spicy, aromatic without being perfumed. The balance is sophisticated; the cedarwood complements rather than dominates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, the cocktail presents a rich amber hue, warming towards copper at the edges. The nose is inviting and complex, revealing whiskey warmth, subtle spice from the bitters, and the woody, slightly herbal undertones of cedarwood. On the palate, the whiskey is warm and smooth, with the sugar providing gentle sweetness balanced by the aromatic bitters. The cedarwood emerges gradually, providing woody warmth and subtle spice that frames the whiskey without overwhelming it. The texture is round and rich, the finish long and warming, with cedarwood notes that linger gently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStir well with ice in a mixing glass, strain into a rocks glass over a single large ice cube, and express a twist of orange peel over the top.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExceptional after dinner or with rich, warming courses  -  smoked meats, roasted mushrooms, dark chocolate, and spiced desserts.
