Happy Monday! Since going to part time, and having Mondays off... they just seem a little better (: Day 5 - today we're drinking Old Forester 1910 Kentucky Bourbon, Double Aged, No Age Statement, distilled and bottled in Kentucky, coming in at 46.5% ABV. We had the Old Forester 1897 on Day 3 - let's see how this one compares.
On the nose, my first impression is toffee and caramel, sweet cream, and a touch of light fruit. The nose is pretty good in my opinion. The taste is hard to put my finger on - I like it, I taste many different things, but I can't quite find what it reminds me of. I get some mint freshness/tingle, and on one of my sips I did find some cinnamon. I get some sweetness, but only a touch. The finish I get some oak and some spice, maybe some sweet chocolate way in the back while it's drifting off.
Adding water, things didn't change much. The nose became more sweet, the taste is probably more sweet as well, with some spicy heat in the back. I get more of a wood finish with water - overall I prefer this one neat. This one costs about $55 ... I probably like this one better than the Old Forester 1897 or the Belle Meade we had on day 2. Or maybe I was just in the mood for this one tonight. Either way, I"m going to give this one a 3.5/5.0 - Cheers!!!
