man after midnight

1 1/2 oz Old Forester 100° Bourbon (Evan Williams Bonded)
1/4 oz Smith & Cross Rum
1/4 oz Nux Alpina Walnut Liqueur (Russo Nocino)
1 tsp Giffard Banana Liqueur (Tempus Fugit)
1 tsp Maple Syrup
2 dash Bitter Truth Aromatic Bitters (Jerry Thomas Decanter Bitters)
1 dash Saline (4 drop 20%)

Stir with ice, strain into an old fashioned glass with ice, and garnish with a dehydrated banana chip (omit). The instructions I found have this as a freezer pour over ice, but I did it à la minute as described.Two Thursdays ago, I returned to a set of online recipe flashcards for Death & Co. and landed on the Man After Midnight that is on the current Denver branch's menu. This Old Fashioned variation named perhaps after the subtitle of the ABBA song "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" had the unique trio of walnut, banana, and maple to accent a Bourbon and rum base. In the glass, the Man After Midnight gave forth maple, banana, and walnut aromas. Next, maple and roast notes on the sip opened up into Bourbon, rum funk, maple, walnut, clove, and cinnamon flavors on the swallow.
