Classic bourbon flavor profile. Oak, caramel, brown sugar, and a hint chocolate and cherry on the nose. Full bodied, slightly creamy mouthfeel with caramel notes leading the way. The finish heats up with some nice rye spice and nuttiness making for a lingering, warm Kentucky hug. No ice or limestone water need IMO. This is an easy drinking 115 proof. The best Old Forester I’ve had, granted that I’ve yet to try Birthday Bourbon or any of the Single Barrels.
