We can anticipate a bourbon that has been carefully aged to develop a rich and complex flavor profile. The 107 proof indicates a bourbon that is likely to offer a robust taste experience, with a higher alcohol content contributing to an intensified expression of the whiskey's inherent flavors.
Nose: Aromatic richness with notes of dark fruit, vanilla, and oak, often complemented by hints of caramel and spice.
Palate: A complex blend of flavors such as chocolate, caramel, and dark cherry, with underlying notes of leather, tobacco, and spices. The palate is usually well-balanced, showcasing Old Forester's signature depth and warmth.
