The Old Fashioned is the classic cocktail — the old grandaddy of them all — that just keeps on giving.

It provides the basic inspiration for this riff on the original by Raphael Redant at Hickson House Distilling Co. in Sydney, but it's the addition of miso to the honey syrup that gives the drink depth and deliciousness.
