Schoolhouse Pub, Austin, TX

I first had one here last December and it wasn't that good.
Now I'm back a year later and it was even worse. It's like they try too hard on classic drinks. IMO, spend your creative energy on original drinks and don't mess with the classics.
In this case, they took a bourbon called Red Handed. Apparently it's a TX bourbon made by combining a Kentucky and a Tennessee whiskey and Bourbon and then it is barrel aged. This bar then ages that. So it's a blend that is aged, that is then ages again. Why?
The pic shows the result, a dark fruit bourbon thing with no orange peel and no cherry. I'm guessing the cherry was within the aging.
Decent ice tho, but sheesh, don't get an OF here. Just don't.
5/10
