Old Forester 2016 Birthday Bourbon Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Burnt caramel, sweet vanilla, and a hint of spice come forward against a backdrop of seasoned oak. It’s a notably delightful aroma, creating a welcoming introduction that entices deeper exploration.
Palate: Charred oak and a healthy dose of spice hit first. They’re followed by chocolate, as the bourbon coats the insides of my mouth. As it lingers, there’s a trace of dark fruit, but it’s hidden well behind the initial flavors.
Finish: It ends with a nice long finish as chocolate, spice, and charred oak taper off.

As usual I was hesitant in dealing with an online company that I had not dealt with before. I took a chance it it paid off. Ordering was easy, they kept me informed about my order and where it was in the picking, packing, and shipping process. What I ordered came even sooner than expected and was packaged extremely well. It’s been a pleasure doing business with champions liquor shop and they’re on my list of go to companies for specialized spirits.
