I like Woodford + Carpano Antica Formula + Angostura bitters + Luxardo cherry.

Substitute Blanton’s for Woodford on special occasions.

I would never use Blanton’s with a mixer.

I use the red Dolin vermouth in Manhattans.

Using Blanton's as a mixer is both wasteful and decadent.

It pretty much says, "I pay a lot of money for things I don't understand and enjoy not enjoying them."
That is my mix too, except I prefer high proof rye.

However, that is a Manhattan, an Old Fashioned has no vermouth. An Old Fashioned has simple syrup or a sugar cube.
