History

Praised by Jeffrey Morgenthaler in his infamous book, as shown in this article: http://leitesculinaria.com/100972/recipes-the-revolver-cocktail.html
He advises for a Nick & Nora glass, so the martini glass is the optional one.

Well, that depend on where in the world are you situated. Here, we don't have all the options, but we also don't have much reason to complain. In the given case, the bourbon in question is Bulleit (the regular - orange label). Currently my favorite. Here it is in the down to mid-range price category. And "sweet and spicy" is just my sensation when tasting it. Just like find their rye to have that "grassy bite". But that's only me, I guess. Cheers!

What would be an example of a low-cost "sweet and spicy bourbon" to use? This sounds like it could be quite tasty!
