Bourbon Review: Old Forester 86 Proof Bourbon

, it’s fairly soft, with more honey, vanilla, and fruit, and a woody backdrop. The finish is smooth and warm, and warm spice predominates upon swallowing. After a few seconds, however, that candied fruit makes another appearance, this time with a vaguely medicinal character that reminds me more of cherry cough syrup than anything else. This whiskey is a decent value, though there’s nothing particularly interesting about it. I find the candy/syrup note off-putting, but it’s still a fine bourbon for mixing or casual sipping. All things considered, I give it a score of 79.
