Distillery Tasting Notes

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

AROMA: A nuanced balance of white floral notes, magnolia, and citrus spiced with vanilla, buttery leather, and cocoa powder. Countering the spice are sprinkles of brown sugar, white chocolate shavings, caramel drizzle, and hints of tropical fruit. TASTE: Caramel and brittle toffee lead as the tropical character blooms into banana, mango, coconut flakes, and macadamia nut. FINISH: Long and delicately drying with a hint of anise.
