Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed April 28, 2020 (edited June 13, 2020)Have heard great things about this bourbon and was hoping I wasn’t going to be let down. I wasn’t. Nose is traditional light fruits with a slight hints of tobacco, vanilla chocolate, molasses and maple syrup. Cherry syrup. Hints of cotton candy after tasting Weller at one point. Take a sip then boom! Such a full bodied bourbon. Long finish though slightly metallic and waxy on the back end. Would highly recommend. I use the rating scale below. Distiller uses a scale of 5 and I use a scale of 10, but I’m sure you’re not too drunk to do the math! 1. Disgusting - So bad I poured it out. 2. Poor - I wouldn't consume by choice. 3. Bad - Multiple flaws. 4. Below average - Not bad, but many things I'd rather have. 5. Good - Just average. 6. Very Good - Better than average. 7. Great - Well above average. 8. Excellent - In a league of its own. 9. Incredible - An all-time favorite. 10. Perfect57.0 USD per Bottle -
Very solid bourbon. Tastes similar to Eagle Rare (for obvious reasons) but slightly more heat on the back end. ER is impossibly smooth though... Nose is dried fruits (maybe banana and a little cherry) and very light baking spices. Cinnamon. Slight waxy finish with cherry coming in on the back end. Smooth though slightly tannic/bitter at times. One of the best <$30 bottles. I use the rating scale below. Distiller uses a scale of 5 and I use a scale of 10, but I’m sure you’re not too drunk to do the math! 1. Disgusting - So bad I poured it out. 2. Poor - I wouldn't consume by choice. 3.

Texas resident so I hate to do this but I’m not a fan and have to rate accordingly. To me, there is too much maple syrup and chocolate liquor taste to be enjoyable. Smooth whiskey but too much of those flavors for me to enjoy. I use the rating scale below. Distiller uses a scale of 5 and I use a scale of 10, but I’m sure you’re not too drunk to do the math! 1.
