From the Bartender
The Final Ward is widely attributed to bartender Phil Ward, who created it at Death & Co in New York City around 2007. Its genius lies in the equal-parts structure - a format borrowed directly from the Last Word - which demands quality in every bottle, as there's nowhere to hide.
