Old Forester 1870 Original Batch

On the nose there is a strong vanilla. First sip is smooth, burn is subtle, vanilla is present, and you can’t go wrong with Old Forester. Ice only pulls out some of the more obvious flavors like char, oak, vanilla, leather. I like this and will get it again.

Nose: Grapes, pear, and other fruits, caramel, some baking spices Palate: Vanilla takes center stage along with baking spices Finish: Short, with more baking spices and some mint A frutier, sweeter take on Old Forester. Just as light in body as the 86 and 100 proof varities but for me a more refined easy sipper and a clear step above the entry level varities.

One of my favorites. Caramel, vanilla, smooth.
