Old Forester 86 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Review

Part of the Brown-Forman portfolio, Old Forester claims 150 years of distilling pedigree. But this bottle boasts much more than historical value; it's an intensely aromatic bourbon with a concentrated, complex flavor profile. The nose is rich in brown sugar, caramel, and candied fruit aromas, while the alcohol integrates seamlessly on the palate among notes of honey, vanilla, and cedarwood. This is a nuanced bourbon that tastes considerably more expensive than its modest price tag.
