Old Forester Single Barrel Bourbon Barrel Strength

Bizarre, the smell and taste of bananas was very over powering. My palette must be jacked up tonight.

Boston guys I 1 132.5

Warehouse 1; Floor 1; 63.85% abv. BevMo store pick Nose: Caramel flavored nail polish. Dense brown sugar. Dark molasses. Palate: Strong alcohol. Oily. Classic bourbon flavor turned up a notch Finish. Long. Bitter tannins mixed with sweet corn syrup and burnt brown sugar. Lingering mint after taste fading away. I need to stop expecting that cask strength single barrel automatically equals honey barrel. This was good but ain’t no honey barrel. Saving grace is the price which I think was priced same as the regular single barrel at approx $40. Not sure if that was intentional or not but who’s complaining. I went back and bought two extra bottles before I tried it cos you just don’t find this type of bourbon specs from a well-established and household name producer for that price but if I had a time machine, would probably have gone back and bought just the one. Don’t leave this one too long in the glass. For some reason, it oxidizes faster than any other cask strength bourbon I’ve had. Turns into an undrinkable mess after a few hours in the glass. Cheers PoD!

Astor store pick, rickhouse i floor 1. Hit is hard, but finish is so good. Heavy spice into a subtle creaminess. It’s long and complex. It’s worth a pickup for sure, especially if you see it around the $80 price point.

Fantastic
