Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon

Rich

Lots of fruity notes of the scent, like cherry and other berries, as well as very light oak and vanilla. Notably low ethanol vapor also on the nose. Lots more fruit on the taste, including the berries, but more if they were a jelly or jam. There's burnt sugar here as well, but honestly a little too far burnt. At first I thought the oak flavor (which is also a bit faint) was young and raw, but it has the same suffering as aforementioned, with a burnt flavor, but no proof or depth to really show from that. There's something about this that definitely does not work well with me. Perhaps it's an interesting note of a berry cobbler where the crumble topping was torched terribly too long. Also worth noting is that 100 proof, which is not low by any means, is not really detected by taste or finish.

Very solid

Spices, nutmeg, medium smooth
