Old Forester 2010 Birthday Bourbon

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 47.5%

Score: 92 Points

This year’s release was distilled on a single day in October 1997, and the nose is full of dark chocolate, caramel, butterscotch, wood shavings, and sawdust. The taste has notes of citrus, oak, roasted cashews, and a touch of raspberries. The finish is woody and slightly sweet with touches of vanilla and grilled peaches.
