130 proof
NAS (minimum 4 years)
Bourbon
Old Forester
$65
72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley
Nose
Distinctively Old Forester with a light sizzle and complexity; vanilla and caramel forward.
Palate
Hotter than the nose suggests, with cocoa powder, toasted marshmallow, and s'mores character; not overly sweet with a burst of early flavors.
Finish
Short to medium finish that drops off the palate relatively quickly after the initial flavor burst.
Overall Score
3.8 / 5
A distinctive Old Forester with s'mores-like flavors and good proof integration, though the finish tails off faster than the robust proof might suggest.
