Old Forester Single Barrel Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750 ML

130.2 Proof

Nose:Powerful Nose: You catch high alcohol content, but not overpowering given the Proof. Bold notes are dominant; Smokey/Charred Oak, Tobacco Leaf, Leather, & Black Pepper followed by mature sweet notes of Caramel, Vanilla, and a little Dark Chocolate Covered Cherry.

Taste/Palate:Heat and Spice upfront. Hot and thin. Initially I get Clove, Pepper, and Cinnamon in the first couple seconds. It cools off and gives you some sweet and bold notes in the midpalate; Caramel, Leather, Mild Oak & Barrel Char, Cherry, and Spearmint.

Finish:The heat fades away on the finish and leaves you with the a little lingering Rye Spice, a decent amount of Cherry and Leather are dominant. The finish is medium to long as minutes after your sip you dont forget you just had an elixir that could turn over a motor.
