Blind taste test - bought 50 mL bottles at Belmont Bev on Cleveland and Main St. Color is a lighter amber. Smell is a powerful punch of rye peppercorn and black pepper with a hint of mint and younger corn. Taste is fresh, clean, pretty peppery/sharp spicy with some smoke and a soft caramel. Would try again. Had to have been a high rye whiskey in the barrel1.99 USD per Shot

Blind taste test - bought 50 mL bottles at Total Wine in Grand Rapids with Kyle. Color is a pretty medium amber. Smell is sharp, dark fruits/berries and toast - similar to Blade and Bow but sharper ethanol aroma. Taste is certainly unique - herbal, floral, spiced, and a little toffee. Not my favorite, but would happily sip again. Upon reveal, the dark fruits and caramel dominate. Nice and would not get too tired of drinking

Old Forester Classic 86 Proof
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed January 23, 2022 (edited February 13, 2022)Blind taste test - bought 50 mL bottles at Total Wine in Grand Rapids with Kyle. Color is nice and amber. Nose is robust, but a little flat with aromas of dark wood, pine, and leather. Texture is a little grainy with a pop of sweet/candy corn flavor with vanilla. Buttery, a little floral, and very flavorful. Upon reveal, cherry, pecans, pie, and jam really do come through. Very sweet - great value!! Much prefer to other entry-level bourbons!
