The Herman Marshall whiskey brand, made by Dallas Distilleries, is named after the founders of the spirit company, Marshall Louis and Herman Beckley, who met at a Starbucks years ago and noticed their hobby of distilling spirits could turn into a business. They decided to specialize in whiskey and now have a bourbon, a single malt and a rye.
For this cocktail recipe from Austin bar Easy Tiger, the bourbon’s peppery notes are particularly present to balance out the ginger liqueur and the orange bitters. It’s a bold, boozy drink that showcases the best qualities of the Herman Marshall whiskey, a corn-and-barley mixture aged in new white oak barrels.
