Stone Fence

Pro tips

• Use a single large ice cube to minimize dilution and keep the drink colder longer.
• Stir briefly after adding bitters to ensure even distribution throughout the drink.
• Pour whiskey at room temperature before adding ice for better control of dilution.

Substitutions

• Old Mr. Boston Scotch → any single malt or blended Scotch (adjust quality level to taste preference)
• Aromatic bitters → orange or walnut bitters (changes flavor profile slightly but complements whiskey well)
