Old Forester 2015 Birthday Bourbon Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: The 2015 Birthday Bourbon has a big, bold aroma with tons of herbal, spice, and wood-influenced notes. Initially it’s quite vaporous and oily with a hit of wet paint, but that quickly dissipates to reveal intense maple, caramel, and cola notes as well as a pronounced geranium herbaceous note. With water, there’s more fruit in the nose, including some nice green grape and apple.

Palate: The boldness of the aroma is echoed in the palate. It’s quite bitter, but the bitterness is more medicinal than tannic, much like an Italian amaro or coffee beans. That’s balanced by burnt orange peel, caramel, root beer, and a modest but detectable sweetness.

Finish: Medium-long, tingly, warming finish with spicy rye notes.
