Old Forester 2017 Birthday Bourbon Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Burnt caramel, sweet vanilla, and a hint of spice come forward against a backdrop of seasoned oak. It’s a notably delightful aroma, creating a welcoming introduction that entices deeper exploration.
Palate: Charred oak and a healthy dose of spice hit first. They’re followed by chocolate, as the bourbon coats the insides of my mouth. As it lingers, there’s a trace of dark fruit, but it’s hidden well behind the initial flavors.
Finish: It ends with a nice long finish as chocolate, spice, and charred oak taper off.
