Old Forester Classic 86 Proof

About Old Forester Classic 86 Proof:
Established in 1870, Old Forester is the first bottled bourbon. Staying true to the history and process, Old Forester 86 Proof continues to use the same mash bill and ages all of its whiskey is virgin American oak barrels that give this signature whiskey a rich amber colour and strong sharp and sweet character.

Medium amber colour; aromas of nut, sweet corn, butterscotch, burnt sugar and vanilla oak, with notes of cocoa, tobacco leaf and fruit; very smooth, with understated sweetness, flavours of dried fruit, leather and oak, with notes of pecan, honey, corn bread, spice and light smoke; finish is medium-long, warm and balanced.

Tasting Notes:
Aroma: Sharp and sweet, with a strong floral character that swirls with hints of mint, rich tobacco leaf and vanilla. A touch of oak and pine provides a strong underpinning.
Taste: Sharp at first, but softens quickly, with hints of oak, sweet corn and rye grain character. Spicy, with soft vanilla and light orange notes.
Finish: Long, warm and slightly drying. Nice level of sweetness.
