The 1870 Original Batch is the first release in the Old Forester Whisky Row series, paying tribute to the brand's origins. As a nod to the original batching process used by Old Forester's founder, George Garvin Brown, this Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey combines liquid from three different warehouses.
Spiced shortbread, with candied mixed peel, and drizzles of vanilla syrup.
A medley of citrus and spice, with clove, nutmeg, and a twist of black pepper, joined by warm biscuits.
Warm spices linger.
I am a fan of old forester 1910 (which sadly master of malt doesn’t stock) and wilderness trail. 1870 sits firmly in this arena maybe not quite as nice but not as expensive, a good bourbon at a good price.
