Old Forester King Ranch Edition (2022 Release)

Very nice and tasty

Tried this neat in a glencairn glass. The nose for me is smoky, caramel and lightly sweet. I enjoy the nose quite a bit. For the palate I'm getting more wood, like a campfire taste, with cherry flavors. Then the finish just continues with the smoky wood through and through. The more I drink it the better the palate is and the smokier the finish is. I bet this would be lighter on the smoke side with ice…tried it with ice and I much prefer this neat. Definitely recommend for $69.

Nose is.... Texas? Tastes like.... Texas? Barbeque, dryness, vastness? Solid!

Nose: charred oak, caramel, vanilla, cinnamon and just a hint of mesquite. Sweet on the palate with a little more mesquite and spice, caramel, pecan pie and cinnamon. Long spicy finish. With @twostal

Tried neat at gold fish with @Looneyhead On the nares I get wood.. not much mesquite as I wish I would get. Notes of oak, caramel. Smooth on the palate but honestly I’m disappointed

Nice charred honey notes. A slight peppery taste, but it grows on you quickly.

Rich, best old Forester
