Old Forester Birthday Bourbon (2013 Release) Whisky

September 2nd marks the birthday of George Garvin Brown, one of the founders of Brown-Forman. To honor him, Brown-Forman released an Old Forester Birthday Bourbon. This bourbon is a special annual release that started in September 2002 and varies year to year based on age, warehouse location, number of barrels used, and so on. The bourbon comes in a special old fashioned glass bottle and is an anticipated release every year in the bourbon community. The 2013 bottling of Old Forester Birthday Bourbon marks the 12th year that Brown-Forman has offered this bourbon. This is also the first year that specific information about the release was removed from the label.

Old Forester Birthday Bourbon (2013 Release) Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Cinnamon, chocolate, vanilla, and caramel with a slight metallic tinge. A little alcohol pulls through as well resulting in some warming tingling of the nostrils.

Palate: Barrel char, dark chocolate, rye spice, cinnamon stick, cigar box, caramel, and vanilla follow the heat. Burnt brown sugar and citrus round things out.

Finish: The heat lingers for a few seconds then immediately tapers off. Hints of the flavors on the palate linger, with barrel char and burnt brown sugar being the most prominent for me. Medium to long lasting.
