Just found this at the local shack. I was eyeing another bottle of Old Forester 1920 when I saw this a few bottles away. I’m a sucker for OF’s taste profile anyways, so I decided the price premium was worth the admission. I wasn’t wrong! Quite possibly the finest single barrel bourbon I’ve ever had!
However, I found out at least for me, neat has a much more preferable taste than on the rocks. Neat had a very mellow vanilla flavor and very little “bite”, even though you can clearly smell copious amounts of alcohol. After it was chilled by a large cube, the bite came front and center and diluted the vanilla aroma. I’ll not be adding any more ice, ever, but may try some of my rock cubes to chill it without adding water. Definitely is a great tongue anesthetic BTW! 4.8/5
