The Permit Plane
Cleared for Takeoff
A bold bourbon riff on the Paper Plane featuring Tallman 75th Reserve Indiana Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Aperol, amaro, and fresh lemon for a perfectly balanced cocktail that goes down far smoother than it has any right to.
Bright. Bitter. Balanced.
Why “The Permit Plane”?
Named after the permits, paperwork, and planning that keep big jobs moving safely and efficiently.
The Permit Plane takes inspiration from the modern Paper Plane cocktail and rebuilds it with Tallman 75th Reserve Bourbon for a richer, smoother finish with bold citrus and bittersweet depth.
Method:
- Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice.
- Shake hard for 12-15 seconds until thoroughly chilled.
- Double strain into a chilled coupe glass.
- Garnish with a lemon twist.
Simple proportions. Perfect balance.
The cocktail equivalent of engineering that actually makes sense.
Tallman Tip:
Fresh lemon juice matters enormously here.
This cocktail lives and dies on balance.
Bottled lemon juice tastes like someone described lemons to a chemistry lab.
What You’ll Taste:
- Bright citrus
- Rich bourbon caramel
- Herbal bittersweet orange
- Light spice
- Smooth clean finish
Refreshing up front. Complex underneath. Dangerously easy to drink.
Pairs Well With:
- Charcuterie boards
- Crispy wings
- Grilled salmon
- Late-night conversations
- Watching someone discover the project issue you mentioned three meetings ago
Built on Precision
