Old Forester Rye

Ok so this is a little hot and maybe too youthful but man it packs some flavor for the $$. Poured neat, nose is fruited. Cherry,apple and raspberry lead the way along with bread dough and barrel. Ever smell a vacuum cleaner exhaust after someone put potpourri in it. This has some of that going on too with a dusty floral vibe. The palate hits the fruits again with cherry apple and berry on strong. There is a real nice malt note you just dont find in rye due to this unique mashbill. Wood and sure even some rye spice add to the taste. Its a bit raw and sharp but still a good blast. Finish is raspberry smashed with dry oak and more of that malt sneaking in. Overall I find this very enjoyable especially at the budget price. Of course it could use more ageing and development of the flavors. I do think this is different enough from the other players and such a great value that I will be repurchasing on a regular basis....84/100
