Asking for an Old Fashioned that doesn’t taste like whiskey is like ordering a pizza that doesn’t have cheese. It’s possible but it defeats the purpose of ordering that drink. There are plenty if whiskey drinks that don’t highlight the whiskey as the main flavor i.e. Whiskey Sour, Mint Julep, John Collins, or Irish Coffee, etc…
You’re right, but it’s more like asking for a pizza that doesn’t taste like flat dough, baked hot and fast: whiskey is the absolute foundation without which you have something different. Maybe good, but not a pizza/old fashioned.
