Don Lockwood
A stirred bourbon and Islay Scotch drink with maple syrup, chocolate bitters and Angostura.
Go to the recipe ↓The Don Lockwood splits its base equally between bourbon and Islay Scotch, then adds a small measure of maple syrup and two kinds of bitters. Both published versions below share that frame. They differ in method, maple quantity and garnish, and the method is the choice that changes what equipment you reach for.

Mixing glass or built in the glass
Punch chills the drink in a mixing glass and strains it onto a fresh large cube. The 2018 version stirs the drink on the same rock ice it is served over, so you skip the mixing glass and the strainer. That version also measures 3/8 oz maple against Punch's 1/4 ounce, and it is the only one of the two that gives a garnish.
A 2021 cocktailvirgin post uses the same name for a different drink made with Madeira, bourbon, Benedictine and Peychaud's bitters. That listing gives two different sets of quantities, so it is not reproduced as a recipe here.
