"The Van Winkle mint julep formula is to use only 17-year-old stock—either 'Old Fitzgerald' or 'Old Mammoth Cave'—put sugar and bruised mint at the bottom of the silver cup, pack in finely-cracked ice to induce proper frosting, stick mint sprigs in after two ounces of Bourbon have been poured." http://ti.me/1GC23wp
