Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2017 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Old Forester Birthday Bourbon 2017 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky straight bourbon is familiar territory, but this Birthday Bourbon expression stands apart through its extended maturation. Aged 12 years in new charred American oak, it brings the depth of mature whiskey without turning austere. It was distilled in 2017 and bottled at 96 proof (48% ABV).
Dark cherry and maple give the bourbon a rich opening, while baking spice adds warmth and definition. Tobacco settles into mature oak on the finish, bringing a drier counterpoint to the sweeter notes. The balance of fruit, sweetness, spice, and seasoned wood makes this an easy bottle to appreciate slowly, yet its character remains direct rather than showy. The 750 mL bottle suits a thoughtful pour after dinner or a shared occasion.
