Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style

👃 you can tell it ain't low proof, but it's got some flavor. Clear your sinuses right up. Chocolate chip cookies just doused in caramel. Plus a little more caramel. 👄 I'm not going to act like it's not warm. If you're drinking neat at room temperature, make sure you have a glass of ice water. I'm getting some cherry towards the back of the mouth. Doesn't blow me away 🏁 This is primo. Smaller than average sip neat. Maybe the second one of those. Wow. 10/10 on the finish. I'm getting cinnamon. Maybe a little red licorice. Different flavors on each part My advise is to explore the caramel in the nose a bit, and then take a slightly smaller than normal swig neat at room temperature (as per always), inhale through your nose as you swish around your mouth, then swallow and exhale through your nose. Nose and finish are premium. Might add an ice cube to explore more of the taste. Just put a tiny ice cube from my water into the last 1 - 1.5 oz or so of my pour. After melting. Nose is still fantastic. Even more approachable than before. Maybe some extra charred oak that time. Still sweet caramel. Even using a smaller sip after a sip of water, I'm not unlocking anything crazy on the palate. The nose is still FANTASTIC. As I mentioned before - 10/10. Period. A little bit of cherry juice on top of a caramel and chocolate chip cookie with a little bit of cinnamon sprinkled on top. Primo

My first experience with Old Forester was the 1910 and I really enjoyed it. The 1920 Prohibition Style is very different, but also good! This one is a lot more spicy than sweet. On the nose I get a cola caramel mixed with nutmeg, clove and a bit of wax. A hint of cherry as well. Like a cherry cola. On the palate is much hotter. A lot more spicy than the nose. Cinnamon, nutmeg and a bit smoky. The sweetness is not as present as it is on the nose. The finish gets sweeter. It’s kind of a strawberry cake with nuts on top. It’s got a lot of character and different flavors. It’s not your typical sweet bourbon. It’s spicy, nutty and sweet. Very good experience!

CN. While my covid nose is not 100%, my tasters are working pretty well. I can't quite pinpoint all the flavors yet, but I can say that the finish on this is amazing! The finish on this lasts almost 3-4 minutes! I pickup on the nuttiness most with a hint of coffee for a hot second. Allspice and nuts hang out on the backend for a long time which is pleasing! I don't get any ethanol burn in the nostrils and it's pretty easy to swallow. Even at a higher proof, this would be a great bourbon to sip on over an evening or around a campfire for awhile because the finish is so long and pleasing, you're spending a lot of time between sips. Cheers!

Deceptively smooth, high proof bourbon that deserves a little respect. Vanilla and caramel come through immediately, but it leans darker than Wikd Turkey Rare Breed, more toasted sugar, cocoa, and charred oak, with subtle dried fruit and spice underneath. The mouthfeel is rich and silky, and it drinks far below its proof, which is exactly what makes it dangerous. Easy sips can turn into a long night if you’re not careful. Bold, balanced, and incredibly approachable for the proof, 1920 is one of those bottles that feels refined but still packs a punch. A staple for anyone who enjoys high proof bourbon without the burn.

Nose: very sweet, rich red fruit, some vanilla and oak as well. Smaller presence of baking spices, and tobacco. Palate: bakiny spices come in stronger here. Kostly cinnamon and coriander. Fruit flavors and vanilla take a backseat, so less sweet and more spicy. Finish: medium finish with a solid mouthfeel. Oak and vanilla come back in the finish to give it a nice rounded experience. Overall a really solid whisky with some moderate complexity. Proof isnt overbearing and the flavor is quite exceptional. Definitely worth buying.

This bourbon is fantastic!! The first sip gives you this baking spice notes with cinnamon and cloves then has a sweeter finish of banana and caremel that reminds me of bananas foster. Its a rich and very interesting bottle that feels like winter or fall. Its great neat or pretty incredible with an old fashion!! Add banana simple syrup, cherry and cherry bitters minus the orange peel is probably my favorite old fashion to date. Worth the money for sure between $45-$75. I can get mine for $55.
