Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon

This is the color a bourbon should be. Nice, dark amber. The first taste is strong and very good. Oak, caramel, and a woody flavor that lingers. Very nice bourbon.

Mild taste considering the proof. Be very careful because the intoxication sneaks up on you

Very fruity, very smooth. Drinks lighter than 100 proof. But good in an old fashioned and makes a sweet cocktail. Funky little finish, that I very much enjoy.

First sniff: lots of heat, buckle up Second sniff: very sweet, warmth is still there. Well here goes nothin, fire in the hole! I was expecting to have my throat stripped based on the first sniff, but I’m pleasantly surprised by how drinkable this is. It’s potent, but doesn’t burn at all, just warms my belly. It’s compact, so I’m having trouble pulling out single flavors. But I’m getting sweetness, wood, and a shoe polish/varnish type taste that for some reason I enjoy? I really enjoy this, highly recommend, especially at this price point.
