What the Distillery Says
TWO BARRELS. ONE FINE BOURBON.
1910 Old Fine Whisky, Old Forester’s fourth and final expression in the Whiskey Row Series, is a double barreled Bourbon creating a smooth mingling of sweet oatmeal raisin cookie and milk chocolate, caramel corn, and evolving spice that lead into a refined, charred oak finish.
TASTING NOTES
NOSE: Interlaced layers of buttercream, sticky toffee, cedar, and apricot
TASTE: Smooth, well rounded mingling of sweet oatmeal raisin cookie and milk chocolate leading into caramel corn and evolving spice
FINISH: Charred oak leads with a clean peripheral spice
What Gary Says
Nose: Vanilla raisin spongecake with shaved toffee, cocoa, and cedar smoke.
Palate: Creamy sweetness, vanilla cola (without the carbonation obviously) with chocolate, nutmeg, oak and a hint of pepper.
Finish: Moderately long, drying a tad with oak and hints of spice.
Comments: I was a bit surprised that I enjoyed this – only because I’m not usually a fan of double-oak bourbons. This has a lovely sweetness to it, balanced with a bit of oak bite – but not too much oak.
