Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond

On the nose, strong caramel apple note. Warm, spicy. The apple shines through, and though the expert states “red apple,” i believe it to be more of a green apple and a bit of alcohol. On the tongue. Warm and the green apple steals the show, mellows a bit to an oily sweet middle to a spicy, little musty and almost musty finish. A bit of that proof comes in at the end but the apple note stays all the way through. Almost a butterscotch sweetness as well before the heat. Apple is really prevalent, but its delicious and hot. The fruit note of it lightens it up quite a bit but it definitely has that leathery old bourbon flavor. Very noce and a bit complex, a nice pour!

Thats what they meant about the Flintstone vitamins

Kind of sweet, the less smooth of the smooth ones, and notes of spiciness. Very good, dry as fuck, interesting and long aftertaste.

A good dram. There may be better bourbon's at this price point. This finishes dry, tart. A kick of slice in the middle. It's one you should try. Catch it on sale.
