Reviewed September 22, 2022 (edited June 26, 2023)This is Goldilocks for Old Forester … not too spicy, not too hot, not too pedestrian, and not too flat. Just right in all aspects. The 110 is a perfect proof point over many of their standard offerings and just below 1920’s. The 150 series compares nicely with the age and flavor profile but is just a bit too hot. Velvety mouthfeel with caramel as the top flavor. The finish and KY hug is significant for its proof point but ends at just the right time. This is a top 10 pour all time for me. -

Reviewed May 13, 2022 (edited June 26, 2023)Batch 1 Nose- old dusty books; rich caramel; raspberry jam; vanilla icing; brown sugar coated bananas; graham crackers; plums Palate- Rush of cherries; honeyed sweetness; apple pie filling; cinnamon; creamy vanilla; wet, musty oak Finish- Long, viscous finish; graham crackers; creme brulee; chewy caramel Absolutely fantastic. Better than this years birthday bourbon & I find alot of similarities to the 2018 OFBB (which I find outstanding). The nose is one of the best ive smelled in recent memory. The palate comes on with a viscous mouthfeel, tons of rich dark fruits & sweetness, the signature old forester banana note. The finish is long, rich and dark. Notes of creme brulee & old musty oak round this out. The palate could be a bit more complex, but this remains a fantastic whisky -

Reviewed January 22, 2022Carmel apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Flavor disappears somewhat in the finish but it has a nice long hug.
