I just meant rough booze by bath tub flavour, a common way to drink was to add sugar and bitters to a rough moonshine spirit to make it drinkable and older people used to still order drinks that way (even though the quality of spirits, especially whiskey, had improved) . It was just refined and turned in to a cocktail, hence the name 'old fashioned'.
Well that's what I've always known the story to be anyway :)
