Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond

Spicy, sweet, a touch of fruit

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Classic bourbon notes of caramel, apple, and vanilla. Palate: Clove and cinnamon with some baking spice. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: A touch of mint appears. Overall: 7.5/10 - I'm a fan of Old Forester in general, and this is my first time trying the BiB. At 100 proof would probably mix well or stand up to a large ice cube.

On the nose it's classic old forester. Char, banana, and brown sugar on the nose. The palate it very smooth and sweet with a nice cherry note to finish. A really good pour, but I still prefer the 1910 and 1920 over this expression.

I agree with the last rating but to add, sweetness in the forefront followed by alot of leather/oak ending with a tiny bit of heat. Its good, not great.
