Distillery Tasting Notes

Made by Brown-Forman Distillery ~ Old Forester Distilling Co.

AROMA: Rich chocolate orange. Sharp and intense with oak, vanilla, spice and black pepper notes mingling in a nice balance that open up to reveal a layer of chocolate and maple syrup sweetness. TASTE: Dark fruit and cinnamon spice slowly emerge as the bourbon warms. Sweet and intensely spicy with a touch of rye at first, calms to milk chocolate, nutmeg and cool spicy mint leaf character. Clean and dry with an apple fruit character. FINISH: Long and spicy. Clean and warming with no drying effects.
