Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond

Next up on the Whiskey Row expedition: 1897 Bottled in Bond. Where the 1870 is fruity and light, the 1897 is dark and weighty. There's less of an overt corn note and more aged leather, dark brown sugar, and dulce de leche alongside clove, cinnamon, and oak. Smooth, sweet, and rich with just the right amount of funk to stay really interesting. Cheers to the Bottled In Bond Act!

This has all the flavors of a top notch bourbon, at an intensity that will put a little hair on your chest. One of my favorites to date, right at the $50 mark, and one of the first $50+ bourbon s that convinced me it's worth the premium
