Description

Old Forester 2017 Birthday Bourbon

The 2017 Birthday Bourbon barrel selection was drawn from different warehouses and floors. 93 barrels matured together on the 4^th floor of G warehouse, and were extremely spice forward. 27 barrels matured together on the 5^th floor of K warehouse and contributed rounding sweetness to the blend. Quite a few barrels basked in the sun from both of these lots, showcasing the effects of maturation along an external wall.

AROMA:

Bright golden honey. Sweet toasted oak and black pepper with a heavy suggestion of orange oil and toffee.

TASTE:

Oak spice and charred black pepper dominate over a subtle core of chocolate custard and kola nut.

FINISH:

Spicy perimeter mouthfeel that slowly cascades off revealing floral undertones and cocoa powder.

Loved this one. Deep flavor with caramel, vanilla, and a nice spice on the finish. It’s easy to sip but still has a lot of character. Arrived quickly and well packaged.

Great bourbon with a bold but smooth finish. Has that classic Old Forester profile but elevated. Worth it if you’re into premium releases or collecting rare bottles.
