Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon

Has a nice spicy/warm flavor to begin with, but not enough mouth feel like I prefer. At the price point it's a definite in my collection, just doesn't hit home long enough after a few seconds and that's why it's not an everyday type for me... Third night into this and I'm really beginning to enjoy it's initial taste. It has such a nice vanilla overtone and it's almost sweet and maple syrup in a sense. While my initial rating was 3.75, I'm now updating this as it's growing on me quickly... Think of dessert when eyeing this bottle... Fifth try in and it just keeps getting better. The overall vanilla profile on the initial taste is remarkable. I just really enjoy this whisky. I keep finding it astonishing that it has such a full flavor profile after the initial sweetness of the vanilla. Such a great whisky, will never not have this on hand... For the price point it's extraordinary. Two years post review and it's still living up to the hype I've written up previously. This is just so good and not just for the rediculously low price point. I feel like I could pour this onto waffles and I'd not miss a beat...

Good nose and not too strong on the tongue.

Very good bourbon. The woody and pine notes of classic Old Forester are present and not watered down @ 50% ABV. A great choice for a neat drink on a winter's evening. A very affordable and accessible screw top!

Alcohol on the nose followed by wood and brown sugar. Brown sugar, oak, and mint (throughout) followed by heat in the finish. Generally, I am not big on adding water but a few drops broadens the flavors a bit and reduces the heat somewhat although it is still there on the back end of the finish.
