Tasting Notes: Top floor, highest proof Old Forester single barrel we've ever encountered. There's not a wiff of heat about this. PURE BOURBON CANDY...nose of liquid caramel and cinnamon, very finely tuned oak spice, with an almost cedar like quality. The palate just melts with rich caramel sauce, butterscotch, and a touch of cocoa. With so many "okay" barrels out there, to come across a juggernaut like this after so many years, it's amazing!
