Old Forester 2014 Birthday Bourbon
Country: USA
Region: Kentucky
Type: Bourbon
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 48.5%
Score: 91 Points
The 2014 Birthday Bourbon has a smooth nose with notes of vanilla cream, maple, muted spices, and hints of molasses and dried orange peel. The taste is dry, tart, and slightly citrusy at first with soft spices, a nice oakiness, and hints of vanilla, black pepper, and honey. The finish is warm and smooth, slightly dry, and doughy with a touch of shortbread cookies and gingerbread. Excellent! (October, 2014)
