Some of you like my long winded cocktail history...so... this is actually called a French 95. You may be more familiar with the French 75 (gin 
and 
). The French 75 was named after the French 75 mm light field gun (better known as the Soixante-Quinze) which was a mainstay of the French army in World War I. The cocktail naming is attributed to Henry Tépé of Henry’s Bar, Paris around 1914 or before.

Jones’ 1977 Jones Complete Barguide...and being made with bourbon instead of gin was considered to be a little stronger...therefore, it takes its name from essentially “a bigger gun” - likely the Lahitolle 95mm canon.
So, really, my thought process this morning was “I’m gonna need a bigger gun...”
