Old Forester 117 Series – Prohibition Era Still Proof
130 proof NAS Bourbon Old Forester Louisville, KY $65 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley
Nose

Distinctive Old Forester character with restrained sizzle for its proof, not a nose puncher.

Palate

Hot on the palate with cocoa powder, chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and s'mores character. Not overly sweet, with emerging caramel on revisit.

Finish

Burst of early flavors that drops off quickly, short to medium finish with limited lingering complexity.

Enjoyable
A characterful pour with appealing s'mores-forward flavors that delivers strong initial impact but a finish that retreats too quickly.
