Old Forester Single Barrel Bourbon 90 Proof

Bottle kill and last taste. I started off pretty high on this bottle, but it lost a bit of it's shine toward the end. Although this is a very enjoyable pour, I can't say it has anything that stands out from other bourbons at similar and even lesser price points. This was a good bottle, and I'm glad I had a chance to enjoy the uniqueness of this single barrel offering.

This is a really darn good pick (thanks @jdjmad!) and so were both the Lions and Packers picks today. Nice little Draft Day nightcap :)

Newly released store pick. Upon opening there is a strong aroma of grapes and caramel with a slight hint of maple. After a second pour, there is definitely an initial grape and fruity taste, along with some caramel, but really no maple taste. The middle continues with an orange and grape flavor with hints of caramel. The finish is pretty smooth, slightly sweet oak with just a hint of ethanol. Could also probably be used as a decent mixer to create a different flavor profile.
