Tasting Notes
"The bourbon has a rich aroma with oak, vanilla and buttery caramel. There's some fruity notes here as well in the form of orange zest and freshly-cut apples. It has a medium body, but isn't as creamy as the nose would suggest. The bourbon is sweet and fruity on the palate like the nose and the barrel notes are integrated well so it's not chewy or too dry. The finish is tangy and bittersweet with a taste that stays with you long after you've finished your sip. Another solid offering for Old Forester. "
