Caramelized Fig & Banana Old Fashioned

This is an Old Fashioned riff built for dessert. Caramelized fig syrup replaces the usual simple syrup, bringing a rounder, more complex sweetness than plain sugar can, and chocolate bitters do what Angostura would in the original, only pointed more directly at the banana liqueur and the torched banana garnish. Bourbon still anchors the whole thing.
