I’ve had most of the other variations of Old Forester and has put this one off. Now let’s check it out! On the nose I get smokey sweet vanilla, with some rye and other baking spices. I also get a bright fruit note (red apple) hidden in there. On the palate I’m surprised by it’s nice thicker mouthfeel. I get vanilla, peppery spiciness, big time oak char, and a little dusty rye. I still get some fruit, but not sure what type. The finish is is on the shorter side of long with some sweet spices and light fruit lingering. This is great. I really enjoyed this bourbon. Enough qualities to keep it interesting and enjoyable, and easy enough to sip. This is one of my favorite Old Forester bourbons next to 1920, their Rye and 1910 (not in that order necessarily)
