Distillery Tasting Notes

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

AROMA: Brownish orange – like a fine cognac. Very sweet and powerful with strong vanilla and caramel toffee like notes layering over hints of orange peel and tea leaves. TASTE: Nice balance of oak opens with a hint of spearmint in the depths. Sweet and cool with hints of tea, mint and ripe apple fruit. FINISH: Clean, fruity and a tea-like note.
