Batch 001 · Maple Finish

Maple Old
Fashioned

"The one you make when you've earned it."

Difficulty Easy
Time 3 min
Serves 1

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01 Add the maple syrup and both bitters to a mixing glass. Add a handful of ice and stir gently to combine.
  2. 02 Pour in 2 oz of Commencement Batch 001. Stir for 20–25 rotations — enough to chill and dilute without over-watering.
  3. 03 Strain over a large ice cube in a rocks glass. The single cube keeps it cold without diluting too fast.
  4. 04 Express an orange peel over the glass — twist it over the surface to release the oils, then place it on the rim or drop it in.

Tasting Notes

Sweet waffle cereal on the nose, followed by a bright blueberry mid-palate that gives way to the warmth of the maple finish. The toffee pudding lingers — long, rich, and unhurried. The maple syrup stave finish in Batch 001 amplifies the natural sweetness of the mash without masking the proof. At 114, it still has heat — but it earns it.
