Old Forester 100 Proof Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

This is my definition of a "daily drinker". $25 in NC and available everywhere. 100 proof value which is strong enough to stand up to mixing, ice, and water. Flavorful enough to enjoy neat and yet not so complex as to cause you to feel the need to contemplate too many things. I have a definite screw top bias which this unfortunately has. To quash this, I simply pour this juice into an empty OF Whiskey Row bottle w/ stylish cork!
N-. A bit of alcohol, vanilla, malty brown sugar, with a slight pine note.
P- Alcohol, top of mouth heat, chewy dried fruits, mixed spices, caramel with a rich oily mouth feel.
F- Even balanced medium to long finish. Top of mouth heat returns as flavors tail away.
A rock brings in some otherwise missing char and smoke along with a bit of a bitter aftertaste.
This bottle is a winner.

@BeppeCovfefe Yeah, Elijah Craig has a nice presentation :)
I'm partial to the Elijah Craig caps myself, but agree, cork just somehow seems necessary.
Nailed it in this one. A great bourbon to pour into an empty bottle from something fancier!
