Sunday's Finest, a luxury cocktail brand owned by Robert Haynes, has launched the 'Gold Fashioned,' a premium pre-made 'Old Fashioned' cocktail served in a 750-milliliter glass bottle. Made from the most lavish and expensive ingredients, this bottled cocktail looks to redefine the ready-to-drink category.
According to Haynes, the 'Gold Fashioned' comes from his own professional cocktail-making experience which includes making house-made bitters for Violet Hour, working with botanicals for Apologue, and endlessly trying to improve upon the classic 'Old Fashioned' recipe.
"We wanted to use the world’s most exquisite spices sourced from the country of origin, and use them to accentuate the flavors and aromas already happening in the whiskey," said Haynes. The bitters used in the 'Gold Fashioned' consist of saffron hand-picked in Afghanistan and French Gentian. Meanwhile, the other ingredients include Grade A vanilla beans, Spanish orange peels, and cacao from Ecuador.
