This is called Driftwood Lemonade. I had a bourbon friend turn me to this drink a few years ago. The Evan Williams 100 proof is my go-to affordable cocktail mixer. It's fantastic.
For lemon cocktails I don't think anything is better than San Pellegrino. It's great with just regular bourbon, black cherry whiskey or honey whiskey.

I've never had the EC barrel proof but I've heard good things.
Its my first owned bottle. I've had pours while out before and highly enjoyed it. Just reading up on it, there seems to be significant batch variations in both proof and flavors.
I pulled the whole "neck pour" lingo off the Net to fit in with the cool crowd. Is that something you've experienced? Bourbon opens up more after there's more head space for O2 in the bottle. [Reply]

Huge variations I'm told on ECBP which is pretty awesome and let's you hunt your preferred choice.
Neck pour. You smooth motherfucker!!!!
Lots of guys talk about letting a bottle sit to expose it to oxygen and have it "open up." It's really not something that actually happens. It's mostly about your palate on the day you drink it. Notice how bourbon changes a ton depending on what you ate before drinking it? It's mostly that. [Reply]
