• Taste: Juicy fruits lead the palate, followed by toasted oak and warm cinnamon spice. Expect notes of honey, buttercream, nougat, and butterscotch, with a full-bodied and warming presence.
• Finish: A long and satisfying finish, with hints of caramel apple, a flavorful mix of sweet tobacco, ground cinnamon, and cacao. Notes of fudge, cola, coffee, and toffee also linger.

The 2024 Birthday Bourbon is noted for its complexity and robust character, showcasing Old Forester’s signature depth and warmth. Due to its limited nature, this release is highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike.
