Tasting Notes:

Nose: A somewhat tame and straightforward aroma consisting of cherry cough syrup, granny smith apples, crème brûlée, and wet oak. It’s a pleasant aroma that’s easy to enjoy, but surprising for how restrained it is for the proof.

Palate: Potent with a burst of roasted pecans, thick oak, black cherries, and leather. The flavors all come at you at one speed and aren’t quite as punchy as I’d like them to be. The sip has a bold flavor overall thanks to its proof, but it's just not very exciting.
 
Finish: A long hot finish of pecan, seasoned oak, burnt caramel, pepper, and mild bitterness. It’s a serviceable finish that packs flavor and heat, but like the palate, it isn't very thrilling.

About the Producer

A century and a half ago, Whiskey Row was the economic center of Louisville – home to distillers, wholesalers and Old Forester, America’s First Bottled Bourbon. In 1870, George Garvin Brown signed and sealed Old Forester with a promise: a handwritten guarantee to produce Bourbon of the highest consistent quality. As you step into 119 West Main Street, the same four walls that Old Forester called home before Prohibition, you’ll see that the times have changed, but the promise of sealed-in quality from the First Bottled Bourbon endures.

You can’t separate the stories of Bourbon and Louisville – a rich, entwined history that’s created the fabric of our hometown. At the Old Forester Distilling Company, you’ll learn about the histories of both, and of course, that of the Hometown Bourbon of Bourbon’s Hometown.

Bourbon returned to historic Whiskey Row in 2018 with the opening of Old Forester Distilling Co. Old Forester bourbon tour experience offers a look inside the Louisville brand, its hometown and history of bottled bourbon. Created by George Garvin Brown, the Old Forester label has been a popular spirit across the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the nation for many years.
