Double Gold, San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2020. The Old Forester 1920 “Prohibition Style” is produced from a small batch of barrels presented at 115 proof, representing the typical barrel proof of Bourbon at that time. The aroma is an intense medley of cherry preserves, drippy caramel, dark chocolate, thickened maple syrup and seasoned oak spiciness. In terms of taste, dark caramel coats layers of malt nuttiness and sweet graham cracker all warmed by green peppercorn and coriander spice brightened with a hint of cedar. The finish provides tart apple crispness and gives way to a long smokey finish full of toasted marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker sweetness.
