Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon

I am a huge fan of the Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style bourbon, but its $60 price tag makes it a little too pricey to be a daily drinker. Thankfully, there are a number of less expensive Old Forester labels, so I decided to pick up a bottle of the Signature 100 Proof Bourbon. The color alone has me excited for something good and the budget price point is simply an added bonus. Before serving myself a neat pour, I take a deep whiff from the bottle and I like what I smell. The nose is packed with vanilla, caramel, and cherry. It smells like I'm about to drink an ice cream sundae. The mouthfeel is silky smooth and the palate brings chocolate and oak into the mix. There is a slight black pepper heat in the back of the throat and a warm, but all too short finish. I was looking for a cheaper, younger brother to the 1920 Prohibition Style and I have found it. The Signature 100 Proof has similar tasting notes to the 1920 but is not as complex, which was to be expected. Easy drinking at an easy price will keep this in my collection, and in my mouth, from here on out.

Spicy. Moderate finish.
