Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon

Fantastic value. Full of flavor, medium finish, will buy again and again.

One of the best, if not the best value bourbons ever. Bonus points in my rating for value.

Chocolate-caramel on the nose. This one is balanced insanely well with profound flavors of chocolate, herbal mint, and an aftertaste of black coffee and oak. This didn’t contain a whole lot of fruitiness but tastes like a rich dessert. Definitely will be going back to this bourbon.

First nose reminds me of dark chocolate desserts. Immediately on the palate I got chocolate and coffee. Chocolate coffee sweet cake. Experts say slight mint, but I get more of an essential oil spearmint. Coats the mouth well and medium finish

On the nose, I get strong notes of luxardo cherry syrup, banana, cinnamon, clove and oak with a light orange zest and very light corn behind these stronger notes. On the front and mid-palate there is a wave of banana and cherry fruitiness that plays with a meaty oak note. On the finish the oak and clove spice pushes through after the fruity wave on the front palate. The orange and grain notes disappear on the palate compared to the nose. This is a fun bourbon if you enjoy a bunch of fruitiness on the front end and do not mind a spicy finish.
