feet first in the deep end

1 oz Evan Williams Bonded Bourbon
1/2 oz Moderately Aged Rum (Doorly's 12 Year)
1/2 oz Light Aged/Filtered Rum (Privateer Tres Aromatique)
3/8 oz Tempus Fugit Crème de Banane
1/8 oz Amaro Abano
1 dash Angostura Bitters

Stir with ice, strain into a double old fashioned with a large ice cube, and garnish with oils from both a lemon twist and an orange twist.
Feet First in the Deep End Lost Lake Chicago Tiki Old Fashioned
Continuing on with my revisiting my well worn in Tiki books, I grabbed my copy of Minimalist Tiki book by Matt Pietrek and Carrie Smith. There, I encountered the Feet First in the Deep End by Shelby Allison and Erin Hayes at Lost Lake in Chicago that I had previously skipped over for I did not have Amaro Abano until 2022 yet had exhausted the other recipes a few years after it was published in 2015. In the glass the Feet First in the Deep End welcomed the senses with orange, lemon, caramel, and rum aromas. Next, caramel notes on the sip flowed into Bourbon, rum, banana, clove, and allspice flavors on the swallow.
