Old Forester Single Barrel - Barrel Proof from Wine Palace of Livonia Michigan. Coming in at 129.2 proof. The color on this is a nice brown horse saddle bag color, would make for a great watch band or leather belt. The nose is what you’d expect from a high proofed aged bourbon, leather, sweet tobacco, with a light apricot and vanilla smell. For 129.2 there isn’t a strong booze smell at all Man that first sip is a toffee cream soda, mid palate you get the proof, but comes with a nice long cake batter finish. Think about licking the spoon and all of the sweetness of that raw egg, sugar, and flour just dancing. Man the second sip is a hitter, hard to find anything you wouldn’t like about this high proofed bourbon. The next rodeo gives yield to golden raisins and very light black licorice. Great mouthfeel, slightly oily. If it was only a little thicker maybe inky, it would be perfect. This one hits so many of my marks, no doubt.
