Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond

Of the whiskey row selections this may well be my favorite. Nose (5): Caramel, apple, and peanutty. Sweet and aromatic. Classic bourbon nose. Palate (4): Nose continues on to palate. No major surprises. Reminds me of a fresh taffy apple with a touch of smoke and brown sugar. Finish (4.5): Just the right finish. Warming, not burning, crisp and a bit chewy. Medium aftertaste makes you wanting to sip more. Overall 4.5.

Tried this at whiskey washback. Very good with notes of banana, caramel, pepper, cherry, vanilla, and corn.

This is a great bourbon. Of the whiskeys in my cabinet, I often come back to this one ahead of other highly rated bourbons. I’d give it a 4.5 if this were an option, but I give it a 5 because this bourbon should have a higher overall rating than it has on this app. The expert description for this one is right on the money...the musty flavor in the finish makes this unique and really enjoyable.
