On the Road / Dharma Bum / Desolation Angel
According to stories, legendary author Jack Kerouac preferred his Irish Whiskey with ginger beer, lime, and bitters, so this cocktail is a tip of the cap to him.

Such big and bold flavors require an equally bold whiskey to stand up to them, and the 1916 Bourbon fits the bill perfectly.
