Old Forester Single Barrel Wine Palace

This is the Women in Whisky 2021 pick . This one has really opened up nicely. Was not a fan on my first try, but the profile has definitely improved. 100 proof. I don’t get any significant OF banana notes on this … maybe ever so slight. Sweeter on the nose than OF100. Definitely drinks stronger than OF100 as it’s MUCH more peppery and spice in the taste and finish … a bit too much as it’s overwhelming other notes. Very nice warming finish with that normal bit of cherry. Definitely an improvement.
