On paper — specifically, the menu at San Francisco speakeasy Bourbon and Branch — the combination of bourbon, orange bitters, and coffee liqueur sounds a bit strange. But one sip and it all makes sense. I suggest you broaden your understanding and do the same. 
If you're partial to bourbon, as I have been lately, or spiked coffee drinks, or orange-flavored dark chocolate desserts, then you'll love the Revolver. It somehow hints at all three concepts while tasting absolutely novel. To get the recipe, read more.
The bar uses Bulleit Bourbon, but I had Maker's Mark on hand, and it works just fine.

Nothing wrong with using Maker's Mark as a substitute. In fact, it works well with just about any bourbon-related recipes. You should come take the free tour of the distillery. It's terrific. Maker’s Mark Distillery is located just outside historic downtown Lebanon, the geographic center of the state and true Heart of Kentucky. Come feel the beat! Learn more about Maker’s Mark and get easy, detailed directions to the distillery at www.HeartOfKentucky.com.
