Cocktail historians generally agree the Old Fashioned cocktail’s name was first used at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, Kentucky. According to Kentucky-based distillery Woodford Reserve, Colonel James E. Pepper, who was born on what is now the distillery site, popularised the Old Fashioned by introducing it to society at New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.
