Old Forester Single Barrel Bourbon 90 Proof

Taste: Neat in Glen Cairn, 2oz. Binny's Barrel Pick Nose (3.25): Green banana and ethanol dominate at first. Gives way to some vanilla and newer oak. To me the nose seemed that of a newer bourbon. Palate (3.00): A bit woody and somewhat acetone at first sip. Not my favorite first sip. Spicy pepper notes at the rear palate and some oak. I am not thrilled by this one. It is just ok, but not writing home about it. Might be good in a mixed drink Finish (3.5): Finishes better than the taste. That green banana on the nose makes a return trip, some butterscotch notes linger. Considerably dry. Overall: First, I am a bit of an Old Forester fan. I loved all four of the whiskey row, especially 1910 and 1920. This one didn't do it for me. Second, I prefer Statesman, 1920, 1910, 1897, and even the signature over it. Barrel not my profile? Maybe. Found it a bit "nail polish" remover like.

fruit notes in the nose and pallet. short finish. very enjoyable

Nose: soft banana, sweetness like hard rock candy, vanilla Body: mild and easy day drinker Palate: sweet toffee, very light caramel and vanilla, very mild spice Finish: short and sweet Note: red cow barrel select, easy, tasty nice dram. A day drinker.

Sweet nose and very smooth on the palate. A little flat but a very good drink.

This is a the new orleans bourbon festival bbl pick. Its not great. Brown foreman obviously saves the good stuff for their other offerings. $45 i’ll pass on a second bottle. Going to start mixing this one in old fashions and manhattans. Very disappointing.
