I'll let it age for a bit but I think it's just not to my taste. It tastes awfully young for a 10-year. Lately the ONLY good Old Foresters are the barrel proof single barrels especially the ryes. The 2025 Birthday Bourbon was ok this year but NO WHERE near its price tag. |

Picked up mine this morning.  |

Local store had another "club allocation drawing" yesterday. I watched a Weller sib, CYPB and a Van Winkle 12 get drawn just in front of me  but I did draw a Blanton's for my turn (the BT was just an extra since I was there)

Yaay, more for me. |
