Old Forester 117 Series – High Angel Share Barrels
110 proof NAS Bourbon Old Forester Louisville, KY

Brown sugar and oak with nutty notes; ginger sneaking through the back end; banana fosters, cinnamon spice, toasted oak, and rich caramel; floral and bright citrus notes emerge with water addition.

Full of flavor with brown sugar and ginger cookie notes; ginger snap character with licorice or anise notes; sorghum molasses, ripe cherries, and atomic fireball candy spice; creamy and velvety texture with pop rocks sensation on the middle of the palate when water is added; sweet up front with spice lingering.

Black licorice note sitting on the back end; anise is substantial; finish hangs around for a good amount of time; complex with layer after layer of notes.

Top notch
A complex, dimensionally rich bourbon concentrate from low-yielding barrels that opens beautifully with water and showcases the blending process behind Old Forester.
