Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond

Part of a whiskey row sampler pack, the nose starts out as a rich bouquet of sweet fruits, this transitions to a familiar Brown-Foreman smell, before fading the a little bit of ethanol heat. The fruit notes continue straight into the palate, just a hint of spice and oak, and a slight medicinal note. Through and through the fruit contiues long after a sip. While this isn't my favorite Old Forester offering, this is by no means a slight on the product. It's a very good fruit-foreward bourbon that I'm certainly happy to drink.
