Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon

Another good old forester that doesn’t leave me disappointed. I picked this up for 24 bucks and it’s a steal! Has the OF banana note up front that I love along with a cherry note and nice wood flavor. Finishing nicely with the rye note and finish goes for a bit. These Old Foresters always seem to impress me lately, I’m late to the party on these.

Oh alcohol and minty with a chocolate oak finish

Nose is banana and vanilla, can tell it’s a bit higher proof. Palate has spicy notes, slightly peppery and brown sugar. Finish is lingering and sweet.

Nice everyday drinker.

I found this bourbon a great value; good for the price. My first impression: the scent was a delight! However, the scent alone must have raised my hopes to high. By all means, though, I was not disappointed. I can absolutely enjoy this, and drink it neat. I just thought something that smelled that good had to taste so much better. With a burst of spice, the palette was a brown sugary, caramel, mixed with an unusual woody finish (not the typical oak barrel I'm used to). Honestly, I prefer other brands in the same price range, and this won't be a repeat, regular purchase for me.
