I picked up an Old Forester 150th batch 1 today and my local surprised me with an EHTBP.

Picked these up today $35 for the OS and $38 for the MM 101. I haven't had either before, so looking forward to tasting.

I too picked up the #1 of the OF 150 - and have an option to buy number 2 and number 3 as well.   Going to try number 1 tonight, and very much looking forward to it with some Sunday Night Football!   It will have to impress me at $165 to buy the others.

It's pretty dang good. It's probably the most non OF profile OF I've ever tried. Need to confirm that tonight with a second taste to make sure my palate was in its normal state last night.

More so than Statesmen?

 

Cuz I felt that was pretty different from “normal”.

(I really like it though)

Oh interesting! Haven't had Statesmen in a while but I don't remember thinking that about it.

I have one downstairs so I'll do a side by side.

I felt statesman was much more caramel forward, whereas I associate chocolate covered cherries as the “typical” old forester profile.

 

statesman is a fantastic fall-winter bourbon.

I really liked batch 1.   The nose is oak and fruit,  I found it very viscous. Lots of good heat, maybe pepper and cedar and tobacco.   Lots of fruit after the heat calms down.    Great long finish.  I really like it.   I would buy another, even at the $165 price tag.   If anyone tried 2 or 3, please let me know.   Best OF product I have had.

Batch 14!

What a face on that your pooch!  I admire cats and like them for what they are, but no cat will ever look at you like that!  Those looks just melt your heart.  ?

 

the Stagg Jr. is OK, too... ?

I think cats are really great. Especially with lots of garlic and soy sauce!   ?
