Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon

Nose: Palate: spice

Revisited this in Dec 2020. Noted more barrel char on finish, and a note of mint/rosemary up front. Upped to 3.5. will be a standard on my bar as it's a great daily always available value sipper Terrific value bourbon. Notable deep color. Nose shows vanilla, burnt caramel,rye hay funk and oak. Somewhat sweet front, well rounded, finishes hot and carries some notes of fall spices. More vanilla. A Hint of light tobacco, but that could be from last night's cigar.

Over all, not a bad bourbon. The nose- hints of vanilla, cinnamon, chard oak. The palate- mild intro with a gradual increase in the "hug" with hints of vanilla and cinnamon and decent oil texture. The finish- was much longer than expected and appealing. The proof isnt high at all and therefore not a bad burn. In conclusion- I'm definitely going to purchase this again. The Old Forester signature 100 proof, in my opinion, is a good choice for a "daily" drink or in better terms, a bourbon you would consume more commonly. As always, please enjoy responsibly.

Good straightforward 100 proofer. Alcohol burn to start the nose, into some oakiness and spice. Seems like high rye content. Pretty short finish. No complaints but would rather grab the of rye. Less than $15 with a costco combo pack with 1920.

Great strong taste.

Tried this in a flight with Old Forester Statesman and 1920. what this has in common with Brown-Forman's Woodford Reserve is that they are both oak forward which I like. This is a nice step up from the Old Forester 86 proof. It's a good overall bottle at a good price point for cocktails or evening sipping.
