Old Forester Rye

Nose: classic rye, some peppery oak and honey, hints of buttered biscuits Palate: spices kick in here with a good deal of vanilla, lemon and honey Finish: decent finish especially for a $20 whiskey This is a sleeper whiskey pick right now.

Woody spice on the nose. Rather thin, dry flavor profile with a white pepper finish and faint hints of floral/citrus. Thin mouthfeel. Characteristics develop a bit as it sits. Honestly, this one disappoints. I love Old Forester. I love rye. But unfortunately, I do not love Old Forester Rye. 3.65.

Lots of clove and cinnamon on the nose (more like cinnamon candy). Mouthfeel is very full with notes of walnuts and some sort of dried fruit. Finish is super dry and spicy. Adding water brings out more fruitiness. This one’s growing on me but something about it I’m not super jiving with

This is incredibly sweet. Like they aged it with Nerds in the cask. Pretty unique rye with a profile that doesn't really resemble anything else out there. And a solid price too. I don't usually enjoy OF all that much, but they've done well with this.
