1
Prepare peach purée (if not using ready purée)
Pit and roughly chop one ripe white peach. Place peach pieces in a blender and purée until smooth. Optional: press through a fine mesh strainer to remove solids for a silkier texture. Measure 1 oz for the cocktail. Chill briefly if warm.
2
Build and stir
In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz Woody Creek bourbon, 1 oz white peach purée, and 0.25 oz simple syrup. Add 3 dashes peach bitters and 2 dashes black walnut bitters. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir gently for 20–30 seconds (about 20–30 revolutions) until well-chilled and slightly diluted.
3
Strain
Place a large ice cube into a chilled old-fashioned glass. Double-strain the stirred cocktail into the glass over the large ice cube using a Hawthorne and fine-mesh strainer to remove tiny peach particulate (if you pressed the purée this may be less necessary).

4
Express orange peel
Express an orange peel over the drink by holding it skin-side down over the glass and giving it a firm squeeze to release oils. Rub the rim of the glass with the peel and drop it into the drink or lay it on the ice.
5
Add peach slice
Garnish with one thin slice of white peach laid on top of the ice or skewered on a pick and rested on the rim. Serve immediately.
