I like well aged (XO) Cognac, Armagnac, Calvados, Cardinal Mendoza, Metaxa brandies. But since Bourbon has become such a. "gourmet" item, I decided to try Old Forester 1910, one of their specialty blends (93 proof). Cost ~$60. Bouquet was mostly alcohol. Taste was nice--heavy, mellow, slightly sweet like caramel. Overall a pretty satisfying drink, but nowhere near as subtle and complex as the brandies I mentioned.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
