What can drinkers expect from Old Forester 2024 Birthday Bourbon?

According to the liquor brand, the 2024 Birthday Bourbon is a 107-proof bourbon. Aged for 12-years, the flavor profile suggests a clear nod to the traditional flavors that people expect from Old Forester. Overall, this bourbon tends to be on the sweeter side.

First, the aroma balanced fruit forward notes with a sweet buttercream icing. Although not necessarily a whiff of a birthday cake, it is more like a warm, comforting spice cake that grandma would make for special occasions.

With that first sip, the fruits are clearly apparent. The juiciness is balanced with warm cinnamon spice and some toasted oak. It might not necessarily be like sitting by the fire, but the cozy, comforting qualities run through the flavor profile.

Lastly, the sweet kiss goodbye lingers with a caramel apple start and a cinnamon, cacao finish. It seems to tempt the drinker to potentially pour another glass.
