Tastes

Very nice. Strong vanilla and alcohol on the nose. Bit of fruit. Sweet and spicy on the palate. Peppery. Finish is fairly long, warm, tart, and tobacco-ish. Reminds me of a nice cigar. Wish I had one to smoke with the rest of this bourbon. Definitely recommend.

I LOVE this bourbon. After a few more glasses this is definitely my favorite so far. Yes, even more than Wild Turkey 101 which was my favorite before trying the Old Forester 100. Nose: I smell the heat with this one! Alcohol and brown sugar and dark fruit. Palate: Oak, dark chocolate, more dark fruit, incredible mouth feel, and some nice spice that lingers. Finish: Warm, long, more dark fruit and a hint of bitter chocolate. So good! Best finish I have had yet. Love it.

One of my favorites so far! Very good sipper!!! Nose: Brown sugar and alcohol. Hint of citrus. Palate: Wow. This has so much flavor. Bitter chocolate, dark fruit, woody, and maybe some pepper. Has some great heat to it! Love the 100 proof. Finish: Wonderful finish! Long with some great warmth. One of my favorite finishes to date. Very good.

Love this one. Strong finish. Nose is vanilla, spice, and oak. Palate is cloves, oak, vanilla, banana, and nutty. Finish is thick and long with spice and oak. Nice heat afterwards with a good mouth feel.

Very nice. Vanilla and spice on the nose. Custard and spice on the palate. Some oak and pepper. Nice finish with more spice and pepper.

First rye I have tried. Not too intense and nice spice. Overall I like it. Plus I am a native of New Orleans, so there’s that. Lol. Nose: Sweet, vanilla, spicy Palate: Spice, pepper, bitter herb Finish: Bittersweet. Seriously. Tastes bitter and sweet at the same time. Tastes a little herbal/ medicinal to me too.

I like this one even though it’s a little hard for me to pick out the notes on it. This is what I find. Nose: mostly fruity and some vanilla Palate: the same fruity with additional spice and even some bite to it (in a good way) Finish: nice moderate finish with spice remaining in the end. I like this one because it seems a bit more complex than what I have tried before. I like the ride.

One of my favorite daily sippers. Nose: butterscotch and citrus Palate: toasty and vanilla and cinnamon Finish: long and warm and woody I absolutely love this bourbon. Amazing price point, flavor, and proof. Try it. You will not regret it!

I am not a fan of this whiskey at all. I have really enjoyed many of the bourbons and whiskeys that I have tasted so far. This one does have a peanut butter taste (I love peanut notes) but it is SO sweet. To the point I could not enjoy it at all. It tastes like I put several spoon fulls of sugar in my glass. Interesting but not for me.
