I really don't have much to say here, but I hope that you find this cocktail enjoyable.
I enjoy a very classic no frills Ole Fashioned. I don't like simple syrup, muddled oranges and cherries, or anything other extras in my glass. To me an Ole Fashioned only needs four ingredients. Those being bourbon, sugar, aromatic bitters, and an orange peel.
Taking a bit of time and care when combining these four very simple ingredients gives you in my opinion the prefect cocktail.

Notes
If you have the ability to make large square ice cubes I'd recommend using one of those when serving your drinks instead of regular ice cubes.
