Old Forester 4 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky

Pros: It's smooth. It's reasonable. It looks nice on the shelf.
Cons: Too smooth for me, could be just the thing for you.

Old Forester is made by Brown Forman, and is the elder brother of Jack Daniels. This Bourbon was started by George Brown a drug salesman in Louisville, KY in 1870. At that time Bourbon was sold in the barrel and re-bottled by the seller. It was often cut...

Pros: No throat or sinus burn, light-bodied, delicate flavor. Inexpensive, but still good quality.
Cons: Not full-bodied enough for my tastes. Probably not flavorful enough to mix.

Old Forester is a wonderfully basic product that is notable not only for its quality, but its exceptionally low price. At around $10-$12 a bottle (I recently got some for $8 on sale), this is about as good a deal as you will ever find in the land of ...

Pros: Smoother than any other bourbon anywhere close to its price.
Cons: It's cheap enough that you'll end up drinking too much.

If you're a bourbon drinker, that's what you drink, you drink a fair amount of it, you appreciate smoothness over any other characteristic, and if you can buy something just as good as the best out there for half the price, you'll rarely buy anything else ...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: good,hearty

I have great respect for any Whisky producer who still spells "whisky" the correct way,(without the "E"),and...

Pros: Cheap enough
Cons: not cheap enough to overcome bad taste

This is what happens when whisky is made by accountants. It's a cheap product. Forester has a heavy tannic taste, thin color and kind of a muddy taste when mixed with water. I've tried to give it a fair hearing several times, and the results are...

Pros: smooth, drinkable, nice bourbon sweetness
Cons: Real hard core bourbon drinkers are usually beyond what this has to offer

Old Forester was the first bourbon I started drinking on a regular basis, and I drank it exclusively until I graduated to Jimmy Beam. Old Forester may be the mildest
bourbon I have ever tasted, and it makes a great mixer. Having not bought a bottle in almost a year, I recently
purchased one and was surprised at how truly drinkable it
is. If you are like me, in your early/mid thirties and in
the eternal quest to maintain your waistline have given up
drinking beer, and are looking for something new, try this
in a tall glass with lots of ice and some Diet Coke, you'll
love it.

Pros: Very good value for the $
Cons: None

Very smooth and with no bite. I found it goes very well on ice or with water. A very pleasant surprise.

Pros: Very inexpensive, yet superior in taste to whiskies costing three times as much.
Cons: None noted ,unless you like to spend a lot of money for inferior brands.

Old Forester has to be the most underrated whiskey on the shelf. It is an easy drinking, spicy and smooth spirit. I like it room temp and neat. Once in a while, I'll add the tiniest splash of distilled water for a change in taste. The water really opens up the nose and the taste. This is a great cigar bourbon.
