Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 19, 2025 (edited April 22, 2025)Interesting that this is basically the same as the 90 proof single barrel, just a little more intense and hotter. Nose: Brown sugar, molasses, chili flakes, oak and leather. Palate: Entry is pleasant, somewhere between silky and velvety, brown sugar, vanilla, oak, baking spices, chili flakes, bitter walnut like notes and a bit of heat. Finish: Lengthy, slightly bittersweet with a spicy smolder. I enjoy this a little better than the single barrel 90 proof, but not enough to bump it up to four stars. -
