The Post Meridiem Old Fashioned is widely regarded by reviewers as one of the best ready-to-drink options on the market, offering a balanced and bourbon-forward flavor that rivals many craft-made versions. It has earned high praise for using real, high-quality ingredients and includes an important "shake and pour over ice" ritual to ensure proper flavor distribution.
Key takeaways from reviews
Authentic flavor: Many reviewers note that the cocktail is well-balanced, allowing the bourbon, bitters, and orange zest to shine through clearly. It is often described as accurate to a hand-crafted version, not artificial or overly sweet.
High-proof: At 37% ABV, this is a strong cocktail, which many drinkers appreciate. For those who prefer a less potent or sweeter drink, reviewers suggest having simple syrup on hand to adjust to your taste.
Convenience with a caveat: The Old Fashioned is praised for its convenience, especially for picnics or travel. However, some reviewers note that if the can is chilled too much, the syrup can settle at the bottom, creating a light-tasting first sip. It is essential to follow the company's recommendation to shake the can before pouring over ice to properly mix the ingredients.
Premium ingredients: Post Meridiem is known for its transparency and uses straight bourbon whiskey, a blend of three bitters, demerara syrup, and orange zest oil. The ingredients are clearly listed on the can.
Mixed reception on sweetness: While many find the balance to be good, some reviewers on platforms like Reddit have found it slightly too sweet. Ultimately, your preference for sweetness will determine your enjoyment.
Critical acclaim: The Double Old Fashioned has received several awards, including a Double Gold and runner-up for Best in Class at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
