Old Forester 117 Series Bottled in Bond, 50%
Price: ● Issue: Fall 2023 ● Reviewer: Julia Higgins ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
The most recent release in the Old Forester 117 Series, a limited line of whiskeys introduced in 2021. Herbal and aromatic on the nose. The palate is laced with brown sugar, cola, fresh peanuts, Fig Newtons, and Raisinets, plus Red Delicious apples, cherry, raspberry jam, cinnamon-raisin bagel, and chocolate fondue. The finish is long and nutty, with chocolate and spicy cinnamon coming to the fore.
