Old Forester Statesman

just a bit sweet on the back side. but a smooth pour

Nose: big time vanilla, brown sugar, a very subtle green apple, and burnt sugar note bordering on caramel. There’s a touch of acetone, but it’s not detrimental Palate: light body, sweet upfront. Palate is greeted with burnt sugar/caramel, peppery rye spice comes on mid to back of the palate, subtle leather notes across tongue Finish: the major flavors finish fast, but the rye spice lasts. Touch of char on the boquet.

Sweet, vanilla and maple. Smooth with a slight spice finish. I prefer a chip of ice to opening this up . A favorite!

Corn-forward with some heat and cologne accents on the nose. The flavor profile is very understated with an extremely short, woodless backend. Wood and white pepper spice is dominant at the front end and hits you right away on the roof of your mouth. Further tastes start to display some wood and a subtle tangy citrus aftertaste. The mouthfeel is right in the middle, neither thin nor thick and buttery. I must say, this one didn’t start out well for me. However, after giving it some time, I’ve come to find it quite pleasant. It’s not flashy, but it’s got the potential to be someone’s favorite daily-drinker.
