Background: This is a NAS bourbon from Brown-Forman for their Whiskey Row Series that I had blind and then was revealed the bottling
ABV: 57.5%
Nose: Caramel sweetness, apples, oak, allspice, and artificial banana
Palate: Still a bit of a thin-mediumish mouthfeel. Caramel sweetness, sharp ethanol, Oak and black pepper.
Finish: Shortish-medium. The oak and ethanol hand around and evaporate but there isn’t much to it.
A bit of a mixing drink as well. There is slightly more flavor here but again the ethanol over powers it and after attempting a big sip this bottle would be relegated to the mixer pile.
Rating: 4/10
Guess: Old Forester 1897
Reveal: 1920
Well I was disappointed as I had thought I Liked this (I Have a previous review from 5 months ago and a full bottle). But my tastes may have changed some since then. Blind is still the best way to truly see what you think of a drink.
