Review: To create Old Forester 1910 Old Forester takes their already delicious bourbon and adds it to a new lightly toasted but heavily charred barrel for an undisclosed amount of time. The result is desert in a glass. The oak is present but not overwhelming. The sweetness ranges from brown sugar caramel to chocolate to a wonderful cookie note. The 93 proof makes it approachable without feeling watered down or boring. If you are looking for a sweet bottle to add to the shelf or wanting to step up your bourbon game from the normal Buffalo Traces and Woodford Reserves this may be the bottle for you. Cheers!

My Rating: Stock it if you like your whiskey sweet!

May the miles you hike be filled with wonder and the glasses you raise be filled with whiskey.

Cheers!
