Tasting Notes
"The aroma of the bourbon seems a bit sweeter and more intense compared to other NAS releases from Old Forester showing caramel popcorn, vanilla, and baked apple pie. The bourbon has a medium weight on the palate along with a peppery bite and moderate char flavors. This adds some dimension to the sweet notes in the taste. Overall, it leans sweet, but not too sweet and it has a decent length to the finish. Would recommend drinking straight or on a large rock. "
