Old Forester Bourbon was the first to be sold in America in sealed glass bottles, to avoid any unsavoury folks tampering with their carefully-considered recipe. It was first seen on shelves back in 1870, and the rye-rich bourbon continues to be enjoyed today.
Top notes of orange blossom and cedar. Soon develops the classic rye bread warmth and a lingering waft of buttered pancakes.
Starts quite sweet with caramel and maple syrup, though swiftly develops intense oak-y elements and hints of pine resin. Sweetness returns slightly on the mid-palate.
Juicy orange and spicy oak continue on the finish.
Bourbon doesn't get made for over 140 years without it being pretty great, so it's unsurprising that Old Forester is, well, pretty darn great!
A bit hot and plenty of higher alcohols, this is best for cocktails or on the rocks (lots of ice). For the price, there are a lot of better jourbons out there.
Orange peel and petrol. Basil on the aftertaste. Not pleasant but not terrible. Would choose over JD.
Not impressed, you might as well stick to regular whiskey. Not in the bourbon class
This bourbon beats out bottles that are double the price. Super smooth 7 slightly sweet. Go to for Old Fashioned.
Great bourbon!
