This release in the Old Forester 117 Series honors the anniversary of the four-alarm fire on Whiskey Row that happened on July 7, 2015 and nearly destroyed the historic block. Aggressive and wood-forward, this has all the makings of a classic Old Forester expression, with hearty but agreeable notes of leather and furniture polish on the nose, but with a subtle cherry character underneath. It’s perfectly approachable on the palate, notes of honey and graham crackers sweetening things moderately while letting notes of dark chocolate and spice do the heavy lifting.
