About Watershed Old Fashioned
Watershed Bourbon Whiskey is crafted using a four-grain recipe, which calls for corn, wheat, rye, and spelt. Spelt, which is native to Ohio, is a type of wheat that fell out of favor with farmers and food processors decades ago because it is difficult to thresh. During distillation, however, spelt contributes a supple and slightly nutty flavor profile.
After Lehman sources the grains, they are milled and mashed before being distilled twice through a copper-pot still. Then, the bourbon is aged in a combination of 10, 30, and 53-gallon virgin American oak casks for approximately three years. The barrels provide the bourbon with an aroma of cedar and pine that gives way to touches of roasted corn, toffee, and vanilla. Notes of roasted nuts, almonds, and sweet caramel dominate the palate, and are complemented by a subtle undertone of wood. The finish is slightly spicy, with notes of wood tannins and cloves.

About Watershed
Greg Lehman conceived of the idea of Watershed Distillery, which is situated in the heart of Columbus, Ohio, when he was playing professional volleyball in Switzerland. "Locally produced spirits were common in the area," he says, and he was inspired to bring the concept back to his Ohio hometown. Together with co-founder Dave Rigo, the pair launched Watershed Distillery in 2010.
About Cocktails
The history of cocktails dates back to the not-so-good days of prohibition when people started to mix drinks trying to make the homemade or bootlegged liquor drinkable.
But things have changed since then, and cocktails have become increasingly popular with modern pop culture, from classics like Martini, Old Fashioned, or Negroni, to the more festive versions like Margaritas and Mojitos becoming staples in most bars.
