Old Forester’s first-ever Bottled in Bond Rye whiskey has baking spices on the nose, along with oatmeal cookies, a touch of molasses, and honey. The taste is peppery with cinnamon and clove complemented by molasses, honey, and a touch of oak. The finish is long with lingering spices and a touch of molasses. (March, 2025)
