Old Forester Single Barrel Bourbon 100 Proof

Ballard cut pick

Everything i like about Old Forester, amped up by being an excellent store pick. This one is from Attica W&S.

Nose has great oak, brown sugar and sugary coffee creamer and a touch of banana laffy taffy. Palate brings cherry coke, granulated white sugar, banana runts and brown sugar. Finish is oak dominated and brings some clove and sweet caramel that stays with you for a nice mellow chest warm filled with some nice pecan and cinnamon flavors. Before Jackie Zychan bolted from Old Forester she mentioned that the 100 proof barrels were short barrels. This was a total wine pick from warehouse G which I believe is one of 2 warehouses that does not have heat cycling. It's best attribute is how balanced it is across the sip bringing great oak, sweetness and spice.
