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

Brown sugar and toasted oak with nutty notes. Banana foster, cinnamon spice, rich caramel, and ginger sneaking through the back end. After opening in the glass, ginger becomes more prominent.

Full of flavor with brown sugar and ginger snap cookies. Licorice and anise notes present. Sorghum molasses, ripe cherries, and atomic fireball candy spice. With water added, becomes creamy and velvety with pop rocks sensation on the middle of the palate, sweeter up front, with floral notes emerging.

Long-lingering anise and licorice note sitting on the back of the palate. Spice and warmth persist. With water, the finish becomes creamier with sustained complexity.

Top notch
A complex and richly flavored bourbon from low-yielding barrels with excellent depth that opens up further with water, offering layer after layer of developing notes.
