marksman

1 1/2 oz Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
3/4 oz Becherovka
1/2 oz Honey Syrup
1/2 oz Lemon Juice

Shake with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass, and garnish with a lemon twist.
Two Sundays ago, I landed on the Marksman from Ward 8 in Boston, and I soon was able to identify it in a 2015 BevSpot article and video that attributed it to bartender Sean Earley. It was less like Craigie on Main's Marksman and more like a Bourbon-laden version of Eastern Standard's Metamorphosis. In the glass, the Marksman took aim at the nose with lemon, Bourbon, and clove aromas. Next, a lemon and honey sip shot forth at Bourbon, cinnamon, clove, and floral flavors on the swallow.
