Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond

Brown sugar, barrel spice, and dusty corn. Nutmeg. The finish is dry. A little water brings green grass to the nose.

Banana and Carmel on the nose. Carmel vanilla. Oaky spicy finish

-On the nose: Immediate sugary banana like the banana runts candies is accompanied by caramel apple, vanilla, and leather after breathing for a few minutes. A combination that’ll make you think “that smells weird but delicious”. -Palette and Finish: banana and caramel apple from the nose hit as soon as this touches the tongue, but are quickly gone and followed by black pepper, spices, leather, and light vanilla that stick with the finish which lingers long enough to be satisfying as these notes fade away. The proof feels just right in combination with the flavor profiles. It is warming but leaves room to feel the kick from the black pepper. This is delicious to drink and fun to taste. This is the bold flavor I was hoping for and already want to grab another bottle because this is delicious.
