rocky mountain revolver

1 1/2 oz Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
3/4 oz Punt e Mes
1/4 oz Creme de Peche (Mathilde)
3 dash Allspice (30 drop Hamilton's Allspice Dram)

Stir with ice and strain into a coupe.
Two Fridays ago, I returned to the online recipe flashcard set for the Baldwin Bar in Woburn and spotted the Rocky Mountain Revolver. Despite the name, it had less to do with the neoclassic Revolver and more in common with Joy Richard's Bourbon Belle. Perhaps the name is in reference to the Rocky Mountain Firearms company that makes beautiful historic recreations of old guns like 6-shot revolvers. The drink was served at the upstairs Baldwin & Sons Trading Company for their opening or very early menu in 2016. A menu photo on Yelp that year mentioned that it was made with a peach-infused Bourbon, but it seems that they make it now as Bourbon plus peach liqueur. In the glass, the Rocky Mountain Revolver offered up Bourbon, peach, and allspice aromas. Next, grape and orchard fruit on the sip took aim at Bourbon, bitter peach, and allspice flavors on the swallow.
