I'm not a beer person. Alcohol-wise, I prefer scotches and bourbons. I've picked up a couple of new bottles to try. And what good is having a blog if not to offer your opinion on subjects no one asked you about?
So here's my thoughts on trying a new bourbon.
Selection: Old Forester, Signature Brand
Price: $20.99, which makes it very affordable
Proof: 100 Proof (50% ABV)
Thoughts: The initial taste is caramel. Not the smoothest bourbon I've ever had. There is a bit of a burn from drinking it that lingers. It's not unpleasant (I've had much worse), but if you're not used to drinking whisky I wouldn't start with this one. Adding some water thinned out the kick a bit.
Conclusion: For the price, it's good. If you like having a bit of a kick, it's worth checking out. This isn't going to make my regular rotation of drinks but I can see why people like it.
