Whiskey Tower Sour

Built to Rise Above

A bold, balanced whiskey sour featuring Tallman’s 75th Reserve Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey, fresh lemon, maple, and a velvety egg white finish.

Smooth at the base. Strong at the top.

 

Why “Whiskey Tower”?

Named after the towering structures that carry power across miles of open country.

Strong. Reliable. Built with precision.

Like the crews behind them, this cocktail balances toughness with finesse. Bold bourbon underneath. Smooth finish on top.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Tallman 75th Reserve Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey
  • 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz maple syrup
  • 1 egg white
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Optional: 2 drops black walnut bitters
  • Ice

Method:

  1. Add bourbon, lemon juice, maple syrup, egg white, and bitters to a shaker without ice.
  2. Dry shake hard for 15 seconds to build foam.
  3. Add ice and shake again until chilled.
  4. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass.
  5. Add a few drops of bitters across the foam and drag a cocktail pick through for a subtle design.

Tallman Tip:

Fresh lemon matters.

The bottled stuff tastes about as lively as a training video from 1997.

Also: dry shake first. That’s what gives the sour its smooth, velvety texture instead of “angry lemonade.”

What You’ll Taste:

  • Bright citrus upfront
  • Rich caramel bourbon backbone
  • Smooth maple sweetness
  • Creamy texture
  • Light spice and oak finish

Balanced without losing strength.

Pairs Well With:

  • Grilled ribeye
  • Smoked wings
  • Pretzels and beer cheese
  • Cigars
  • Watching someone else troubleshoot a problem you warned them about yesterday
