Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style

Amazing bourbon. Great vanilla flavor with plenty of smoke, but still a smooth finish.

Taste is neat, neck pour, let it rest for about 15 minutes and gave this a pretty heavy swirl. Nose - bubble gum, banana nut, light oak, hint of cherry, little bit of sweet tobacco. Comes across sugary sweet like a banana nut bread and sugar cookie mixed. Palate - she’s going to tease you, sweet candy shop goodness on the front end, still get the banana nut and bubble gum, little bit of dark chocolate, cherry, then she hits you with the spice, cinnamon, black pepper, clove, oak, some smokiness. She’s spicy but smooth. Finish - moderate with oak, banana, little bit of leather, cinnamon. It finishes dry, but a back end of sweetness, still pleasant and well balanced. You’ll get some bourbons that go really dry or bitter, this doesn’t have that at all. You really can’t go wrong with 1920. Great flavor, should be readily available and a great price for the proof and complexity. On average should be at $60, around the holidays I’ve seen some insanely good deals and recently picked one up for $40. If you don’t have it, then go out and get it, should absolutely be part of your collection. A top 5 everyday drinker, and a great mid level pick.
