Aging the Bourbon
Place your bourbon in a clean, sterilized barrel. Allow it to age for at least 2 weeks, preferably up to 4 weeks, to infuse the bourbon with complex flavors.

Brew a shot of high-quality Italian espresso using your preferred method. Ensure it is fresh and hot.

Strain and Serve
Strain the mixture into a chilled glass over fresh ice cubes. Garnish with an orange twist by twisting the peel over the drink to release the oils, then place it in the drink.
