Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style

Dark fruits with sweet and wood. Rich and full.

Sweet on the nose with hints of oak, vanilla and almost a banana. Finish is less sweet and smooth for a higher proof bourbon.

Strong fruit and wood on the nose. Bananas foster, candied orange peel, oak, and some campfire smoke. Not too much in the way of spice, but a nice sweet cinnamon note provides much needed relief to the sweeter overall profile of this bourbon. Palate is not too thick, but it is quite oily. Lots of fruit wrapped in caramel greet you right away. Orange, raspberry, lemon, and some caramel apple all show brightly on the palate. Enough wood influence on the palate to help balance out all the sweet fruits I am getting. Proof is great and after the first 2 sips I wasn't getting much heat. Finish is moderately long with more fruit, vanilla, and oak lingering for a minute. A sweeter profile for sure. It's not cloying or decadent, it shows some balance, just lacking in much spice. This is one for a sweeter palate for sure though. I really enjoyed sipping on this one and could for hours if given the opportunity.
