I tried one the other day and thought it was good. I will be buying the ingredients to make them at home. I don't want to use my Woodford Reserve as I like to drink that neat or on the rocks. What bottle do you recommend for a good Bourbon Old Fashioned and how do you make yours. Some online sources say to use club soda when you muddle the ingredients.

Boy it didn't take long for holier-than-thou bourbon drinkers to show up.

Nobody cares
Muddle just one cube of sugar with a splash of bitter and teaspoon of water in a tumbler
Fill with ice.
2 ounces makers mark.
Twist of orange peel to garnish

Rye works well in an old fashioned, actually. I'm don't like it neat but will drink it in an old fashioned

This.
There's gotta be somebody that "cares"
Bulleit or Redemption rye -OR- Woodford Reserve or similar mid-tier bourbon
Use one cube of brown sugar
Drip bitters on cube until it dissolves
Drop in orange peel and muddle together
Add ice cubes and whiskey

My personal preference would be Buffalo Trace.
-Pour scotch over ice
-Splash of topo chico
-Stare at unopened bottle of bourbon while enjoying

What do you call an old fashioned made with vodka anyway?
I love it when sharken saddles up to the adult table and falls off his high chair

Why do you have to ruin scotch to enjoy looking at bourbon?

Old Fashioned ain't bad- just leave the orange out of it, and garnish instead with a lemon peel.
If it's a whiskey cocktail though, Manhattan is our drink of choice

I would suggest hydrogen peroxide over ice.
Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye = Best Old Fashion

Considering the OP asked speficially about what to use for a "bourbon old fashioned" I'd say most of this thread is not what the op asked for, so why stop at Canadian?

stoopid auto crackers.
Old Spanish - Red Wine, Tonic Water, Olives.
Like many others here, I'd go with Bulleit rye. Rye stands out a little better in cocktails than bourbon.
And shark, please stop pouring good scotch over ice.
