Ah, Repeal Day – the day America saw sense and brought an end to that ridiculous law that meant people couldn't drink. To celebrate its anniversary, the US's first ever bottled bourbon, Old Forester, has teamed up with Kensington speakeasy Evans & Peel to create The Executioner. It's a bit old fashioned-y, with a hit of zingy citrus and hickory smoke. If you can't get down there to try it this December, here's the recipe.
