Old Forester 2012 Birthday BourbonFor this bourbon, the malt ratio was increased in our mash bill before putting it into the fermenter, which resulted in a noticeably nutty spirit. Once barreled, the barrel was stored high up on the 4th floor of Warehouse H, where it experienced a balanced maturation. This lofty location gave an unusual amount to the Angels Share, resulting in a richly intense flavor concentration. TASTING NOTES Aroma: Reddish orange. Rich and elegant with sweet notes

It’s deeply aromatic with an irresistible floral and herbal complexity

As a delightful surprise you are greeted with immediate heat upon contact with the palate that nicely contrast the initial notes on the nose

Mandarin Marmalade

and results in maximum agave character

The Ruby derives its name from the Latin “ruber”

Cask Strength means nothing is added and nothing is taken away

concluding on a luxurious velvet note with a touch of smoke

Nose: Lively citrus zest meets honeyed malt

It is an unusually smooth sipping experience that balances sweet accessibility with full-bodied agave flavors

As you take your first sip

where every step in the crafting process is an artful journey

then maritime saltiness and marine engines take over
