Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style

Smoky oaky palate, finishes with intense spice and a bit of smoke. FWIW this is a good bottle that’s readily available and packs a punch, but is isn’t something I’d seek out again. I expected something a bit more at this proof, but I just get blasted with spice and each aspect of this does not seem faceted enough for the praise this generally gets from most people.

Vanilla, oak, fruit, alcohol on nose, palate to follow with similar notes plus spice, med finish fading with heat, great value.

Medium amber color. Nose is warm and rich with vanilla, ethanol and slight orange and clove. Taste is caramel, heat and toasted oak with transition to subtle tobacco, almond and cherry finish that lasts and dances in the tongue. Proof isn’t apparent on the tongue and rather than a bite there is a nice b warmth from start to finish. Pricy but worth keeping on hand - a rival to Bookers for $15 less and also widely available (high is a plus for me)
