Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky

The Old Forester 86 is my watering hole’s well bourbon and, somehow, I hadn’t had it except in cocktails. Finally remedied that. It is everything I want in a bourbon. Sweet, smooth, caramel, vanilla, and candycorn. Very nice.

FEW Bourbon Whiskey

It tastes very, very much like their rye (which I love!) but not in a “this is a bourbon made by the same distiller who made that rye” sort of way. More like they took their rye-recipe and put juuuuust enough corn in the mash to make it technically a bourbon. I mean, I still like it but it’s definitely a rye-drinker’s bourbon.

Also, I am an enormous sucker for little touches like the handwriting on the matte paper label.
