In summary, The Old Forester 100 Proof Rye offers good value for the money, this is a pour full of character, moderately spicy, fairly warm and fully flavored. It’s a bit burny but a drop of water is enough to make it sweeter and easier to drink. The Old Forester has some complexity, along some nice punchy flavors.
The finish is a bit sharp and fairly warm yet pleasant, rich in rye spice, oak and more cinnamon which is present from start to finish. There is vanilla and caramel sweetness coming behind the spice blast along a licorice note. It has a nice peppery bite at first, offering notes of cinnamon, clove and baking spices. The nose hits with rye spice at first, followed by spearmint and cinnamon. I like the Old Forester 100 Rye as it carries 65% of rye in the mash providing a still moderate amount of rye while bottle at 100 proof (50% ABV) providing pleasant warmth to make the Old Fashioned more punchy. In general, Rye Whiskey provides better cocktails as the spicy note from rye makes cocktail more lively and punchy.
