Bourbon
Old Forester
Nose
Toasted oak and brown sugar with cinnamon spice, caramel, banana foster notes, and ginger sneaking through the back end.
Palate
Full of flavor with brown sugar and ginger snap character, licorice and anise notes, sorghum molasses, ripe cherries, and atomic fireball candy spice. With water added, the texture becomes creamy and velvety with pop rocks sensation on the mid-palate, and brighter floral and citrus notes emerge.
Finish
Substantial black licorice and anise note that lingers on the palate for a good amount of time with a pronounced Kentucky hug and warming spice.
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
A complex, richly flavored bourbon concentrate that rewards exploration and opens beautifully with water, delivering layers of spice, molasses, and licorice with impressive depth and finish.
