For 100th review, (whose counting), the bottle of "prohibition" style whiskey jumped out at me. There are certain bottles you can open and get a feeling of stepping into the past, maybe something your great granddad would have sampled. Bottles like Jim Beam Repeal Batch, or just Gold Label(BiB), Old Granddad hi-test, a few others and now Old Forester enters the fray with an advertised "antique" style whiskey. No pun intended, this one is full of spirit. A formidable body of aromas rise in the nose, perhaps a citrus punch, hints of marzipan and certainly musty barn wood. Sweet corn spirits in caramel and cinnamon spice make this a promising venture. This one front loads on the palate with a powerful punch of heat and spice, probably thanks to the substantial proof, the flavors swim and dance before the shear alcohol content breaks it all down. A leather graininess and some sort of bitters, cherry bark maybe. Not much of a finish as it evaporates right out of your throat but while it lasts you have a delicious sample of all those nose notes to behold. The alcohol flash and bitter finish keep the palate dry and ready for subsequent sips, proving the adage "old" whiskey's are for sipping. The 1920 has gotten its fair share of press and blather from the whiskey channels lately along with enough paper-gold medals and certainly some of that is warranted while some is just hype. There is definitely something for a whiskey drinker to like here as this one may fall into the classification of a "whiskey drinkers" whiskey. Either way Morris certainly is on to something with his Prohibition style offering. Cheers!
