This is a 1990 bottling of bourbon distilled by Old Forester, and exported to the Japanese export market. It's an oldie, a definite dusty by todays standard, and from a producer I don't have much dusty experience with, so I'm looking forward to this one. Let's dive in.

  • The nose on this is sublime. The palate and finish are okay also, but the nose steals the show. I could do with a little less heat in the palate and finish given the proof, but overall, I like this quite a bit.

House Review
  • Nose:

    Rich oak, honey, toffee. Musty tobacco. Rich and complex - plums, pipe tobacco and nougat are particularly prominent.

  • Taste:

    Thin to medium mouth feel. Apples, pears, rich pipe tobacco and caramel. Good bit of oak and vanilla. Mild heat that grows with time.

  • Finish:

    A bit of heat here. Ethanol, oak, vanilla and sweet cream. Less fruity, more oaky.

  • Overall:

    The nose on this is sublime. The palate and finish are okay also, but the nose steals the show. I could do with a little less heat in the palate and finish given the proof, but overall, I like this quite a bit.
