tasting next to a 131p o’fo store pick probably wasn’t the move. this will be better w/ a year or two more age, & i’d like to see it at ~60%+ ABV.
the forester was great. just the right amount of kentucky hug making its way slowly down in the chest. however it had a lot of character & was a cleaner profile… banana, regular ol’ o’fo notes & not very complex at all beside the green river. it’s fine bourbon. this green river full proof on the other hand had a lot going on. i need more time w/ it. the pour was tough to pin down, & didn’t feel as special as the forester.
it will take some time, but they’re on the right path at green river w/ these bottles. hopefully the pricing stays where it is. bourbons bottled at strength is where it’s at.
this one’s worth the buy, but if it costed much more at all, idk if that’s the case w/ 120+ proof barrel strength knob creek store picks for 5-10 bucks more.
now i’ve gotta try their regular rye mash full proof side by side w/ this wheated mash full proof.
