Old Forester 117 Series – Prohibition Era Still Proof
130 proof NAS (minimum 4 years) Bourbon Old Forester Louisville, KY $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.

Pleasant
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.
