Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style

Becomes even better with a smidge of water

N: straight forward with bright spice, vanilla, oak and caramel P: a sharpness of spice and oak, with a bit of complexity following as the burn of the 115 proof as it mellows into a caramel rich, slightly buttery and full mouth feel. A bit of tart cherry and pecan appear, along with baking spices (nutmeg). F: lingers from moderate to long, with spice and oak throughout. A great balance of sweet and bitter as it lingers. O: one of my favorite bourbons and for the price, can’t be beat.

Nose: vanilla, toasted oak and cinnamon, and ethanol Palate: rich and hot. The rye spice and proof were quite a hot mix in this bourbon and I’ve had higher proofs than went down smoother Finish: long and pleasant. Sweet even. Will have to come back to this one because I got everything in the OF 1910 just without the BBQ which I quite like and lots more alcohol.

Eclipse bourbon #2!
