Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond

Mild, not complex.

Easy drinkin’

Pretty sweet at first. Oily and full bodied. Pleasant finish with some oak? Very good

Here we have it, another fine old forester product. I’ve sipped on it the last two evenings and the verdict is in, 89 and on the edge of a 90 for me. Such bold flavors on this one, cherries, bananas, leather, and oak. I feel I may not have appreciated this at the beginning of my bourbon journey but being at this journey for 10 years or so I love this style of whiskey. I enjoy the heat on this because it’s so well balanced with the other flavors. I’d have to try this next to the 1910 to see which one I like better! Cheers 🥃
