Tastes

The nose is wonderful on this and carries a sweet slightly fermented honey fragrance. Definitely carries the signature Old Forester spice on the front of the palette. Something about the finish on this whiskey I just can’t in to though. It’s a bit dry and somehow sour/bitter(?). A few drops of water helps with this a lot.

Rum finish is much heavier on the nose than the palette. It carries a light viscosity and flavor. An easy sipper but not quite worth the tag on the bottle.

Once you get past the heat, it’s extremely complex and well worth your money.
