Firehouse Reserve
102.3 proof NAS Bourbon Old Forester/Woodford Reserve Louisville, KY Old Forester 1910, Old Forester 1920, Woodford Reserve Double Oat

Rich, syrupy, and dark with cherry, bold leather, tobacco, hot honey butter, oak, and rose potpourri.

Spicy and silky with leathery cherry syrup, peppercorn, and oak; some dried fruit but lacking in depth and oily richness compared to the nose.

Medium with no full Kentucky hug; sizzling campfire s'mores with tannic drying and heat that doesn't resolve warmly.

Satisfying
A strikingly aromatic and dark bourbon with a spicy, silky palate that falls short of matching the richness and depth promised by its nose.
