Detailed Description
The 2016 Birthday Bourbon barrel selection commemorates the 15th anniversary of the first-ever release. Unlike various previous selections, where barrels were drawn from different warehouses and/or floors and locations within a warehouse, the 2016 release has uniquely matured together on the same floor within the same warehouse. This year, all of the bourbon matured in a very warm location, giving it a deep, rich oak forward personality.
Old Forester 2016 Birthday Bourbon Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: A delightfully rich nose reveals upfront scents of honey, vanilla, fresh cut flowers, and a delicious dose of bubble gum. Further nosing reveals delicate notes of aged oak, leather, and a hint of dried golden raisins.
Palate: Creamy notes of rich breakfast buns mix with bold citrus flavors and rich oak. All of these flavors mingle together to form a palate on the sweeter side that is delicate, yet full of flavor. This has a lighter mouthfeel that forces you to hunt a little harder for the full picture, but it’s worth the reward.
Finish: The finish has all the right ingredients; a dab of tempered heat up front, a nice amount of oak interweaves with a rich syrupy flavoring sprinkled with brown sugar, and a lingering subtle oak taste that lingers for a while.
