Description

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.

Nose

Top notes of orange blossom and cedar. Soon develops the classic rye bread warmth and a lingering waft of buttered pancakes.

Palate

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.

Finish

Juicy orange and spicy oak continue on the finish.

Overall

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 Favourite Bourbon

I've drunk plenty of different types of bourbon, but this is one of my favourites. It goes perfectly on the rocks. Haven't tried it for mint juleps.

Unbalanced

Got a bottle as a present..thought my pal was a cheapskate untill i googled the price...tastes cheap and nasty..thought it was a co-op £12 bottle.

Ok.

Good mixer. Not remarkable straight.

43% The colour of 'quality'. Smells of nothing. Tastes of nothing.

Caveat emptor

I had a bottle the Old Forrester some time ago and found it to be an interesting mixer. Out of town I found a bottle of the "Signature" more expensive bottling. What a disappointment. Nail polish remover! I will never buy another bottle of Old Forrester. So no I don't recommend Old Forrester. Caveat emptor!
