"I read about the Gold Fashioned from Apologue’s Robert Haynes, a limited-edition bottled cocktail retailing for $150 (12 two-ounce pours, about $12.50 per drink) made from an eight-year bourbon from Bardstown blended with MGP rye and bitters that include saffron and Tahitian vanilla beans; Josh Noel described it as "a journey — a very tasty, very deft, very interesting journey," while also noting that one can live without it." - Ashok Selvam
