Old Forester 1870 Original Batch

Sample: Neat in glen cairn glass Appearance: (4.0) Really nice reddish to amber hue. Some legs. Nose (3.0): Bit of nail polish aroma which was a distraction followed with some vanilla and oak. Palate: (4.0): Medium oaky with some baked apples and cinnamon. Bit of spiciness but nothing overwhelming. Vanilla intensifies from the nose. A favorable palate. Finish (3.75): Quicker finish with a nice warming to it. A bit of mint and a dash of pepperiness with woodsy character. Very drinkable. I liked the finish although I might have liked it to be a little longer I would definately buy again. A nice compliment to Whiskey Row Collection. I like 1920 a tad better.
