Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style

Very interesting taste - warm and cinammony on its own, spicy if mixed even with a modicum of water.

Big bourbon with big flavor - Smokey and perfect amount spice. Dark, rich color, even after ice melts. One of my favorites. Love it. Definitely a repeat.

Nose: Intense brown sugar, with all the classic bourbon notes (vanilla, caramel, wood)...but amped up. A nice undertone of leather as well. But the sweet stuff is what steals the show. Taste: Sugary syrup up front. Spikes with cherry and then rides off with more sugar, char and some banana. Super rich and intense. Finish: Sticks with you. That banana lingers (giggity), but some rye spice comes through as well. It’s like a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Overall: This is one of my favorite bourbons regardless of price. Sweet, rich and complete enough to keep you guessing...while still just easy and enjoyable. I love the proof here, it feels perfect. And it’s a great transition bourbon if you’re looking to jump up from the 45% range.
