Jeff's Spirits 250th Anniversary
Warehouse K, floor 8.
Dark copper color with a faint hint of Amber.
Small number of slow forming legs.
Nose reveals that it's definitely an Old Forester product. Good rye presence with plenty of spice. Dark caramel, both ripe and tart fruits. A little hint of cardboard in there and a bit of a hit of ethanol.
Some sweetness up front, but it wanders a bit and the sweetness doesn't linger long enough. A little butterscotch candy comes out.
mouthfeel is a little bit thin, but there is a solid length finish that shows lots of wood.
It comes up short in balance...
All the flavors are there, but it's a little disjointed.
