Old Forester 86 proof

Hey guys! How's it going?🙂.

.

Another weekend is just starting and we have another new review!.

.

We have a bourbon this time. It's the Old Forester 86 proof, it's the 1 liter version too 😄.

This is a budget bourbon IMHO and I mainly want to use this as a mixer.

.

Old Forester is made by Brown-Forman, owned by the Brown family since pre-prohibition. Distillery is located right in Louisville, Kentucky.

.

Here is my review:.

.

Nose:

Brown sugar, sweet caramel, vanilla cookie crust, a hint of oak, black cherry, orange peel and graham crackers.

.

Palate: The palate is first hit with caramel and burnt brown sugar, plus a nice touch of vanilla but it’s thin, and muted. Tastes like a young whisky but not offensive 😄.

.

Finish: Medium in length, warm, the oak tannins make a showing here followed by a hint of rye and some pleasing sweet notes of burnt caramel and dark chocolate, orange peel and black pepper at the end.

.

So what do you guys think of this one? Have you tried it? I think it's an ok bourbon, not overly complex but kind of good 😄 nothing to write home about though 😉🥃.

.

Cheers guys and have a great weekend!😊 🥃✨🥃.

Andrei Muresan

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
