Portrait: What makes the Old Forester Bourbon

The Old Forester Bourbon is an authentic pleasure from the Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky Category manufactured by the renowned Brown-Forman Corporation in the USA. This award-winning bourbon is created in the same tradition as George Gravin Brown did in 1870, distilling and double-distilling from corn, rye and malted barley. The Old Forester is characterized by its higher proportion of rye compared to most bourbon whiskeys, giving it a rich and unique character. Due to the aging in handmade oak barrels, this bourbon unfolds its full taste, as befits a real bourbon.

The Old Forester Bourbon unfolds a slight sweetness with the first sip with subtle sharpness, accompanied by floral nuances of fresh mint, spicy tobacco and fine vanilla. On the palate it presents a smooth texture with notes of oak, sweetcorn, rye and hints of bourbon vanilla.
