Old Forester Birthday, 48%

Peanuts, brown sugar, and a hint of baking spice and tobacco leaf on a fragrant, complex nose. It’s rich and viscous on the palate, a bit hot and spiced but balanced and holding onto its flavor profile, with notes of unsweetened espresso, chocolate, and melted caramel. A nice long finish with rich dark chocolate, more tobacco leaf, subtle cherry, and integrated oak. This one has excellent balance and a superb finish.
