Tasting Notes
"The aromas provide a mix of sweet and hearty with caramel popcorn, peanut brittle, leather and oak. Toasted grains, vanilla back note and dried fruits — most notably dried cherries. It's full on the palate and there's a tangy acidity that make sure it's overly sweet. Good length to the finish. Another solid offering from Old Forester."
