Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2019

Blow your mind good

Tasted at a bar for $28/heavy pour. Nose has toasted marshmallow, brown sugar, raspberries, cotton candy, oak, and light leather. Palate has a nice oily and creamy mouthfeel. Raspberries, brown sugar, oak, and a touch of rye. Finish is sweet berries, brown sugar. There is a slight ethanol note that comes up at the beginning of the finish, but it passes quickly. A very pleasant and long finish. I really enjoyed this. And I’m glad, it wasn’t a cheap pour. But now I know what I had been missing. Probably the nicest mouthfeel I’ve had, and the berry notes throughout are unique and very pleasant.
