Tasting Notes

Old Forester 117 Series Scotch Cask Finish is an intriguing experiment, bourbon aged in Scotch whisky casks. Think less peat monster, more fruity sweetness. These weren't just any Scotch casks; they held sherry and Moscatel-kissed Speyside whisky from GlenDronach and Benriach. The result? A caramel and honey nose leads to jammy fruits and vanilla on the palate. Sherry's wine and spice adds depth. It's not a bourbon bomb; it's a nuanced sipper, mellowed by the Scotch influence. It will reward those looking for something different. It's a balanced marriage of bourbon and Scotch, easy to drink and explore.
