Nose: Creamy vanilla and sweet oak Palate: Vanilla and caramel that gives way to warm baking spices with hints of fruit and nuts Finish: Short but a sweet and spiced-filled linger longer than you'd expect Yes, the bottle will attract attention as it closely resembles the same glass that is used to house Old Forrester Birthday Bourbon. Their flagship bourbon is said to be a blend of sourced barrels, ranging from 4 to 6 years old. With a 21% rye mashbill, I'm sure we can speculate where the source is from. In the end, this is a very classic bourbon with a sweet profile that is an easy sipper. At a sub-$50 MSRP, it's a fair value.
