Tasting Notes

"If you can bear it, allow this bourbon to open up in your glass before you begin to taste. Then keep nosing every few minutes or so and see the notes keep multiplying as time passes. Along with a healthy dose of oak, breakfast foods come to mind like oatmeal with brown sugar and apples; maple syrup and pancakes; and bacon and buttered toast. There's even a touch of cherry fruit here. As you taste, warm barrel spices come through which marries well with the aforementioned sweet notes. A nice bittersweet and savory finish is found with a bit of char smoke wrapping it all up. Another enjoyable Birthday Bourbon from Old Forester. "
