Our Service is an online platform which provides Members with information (e.g. bottle facts, market-indices, market values and prices) on (mostly) whisky and allows Members to add information to the platform. We do not sell, nor does the Service provide any option to buy, any alcoholic products.Old Forester neat, has a nice mouthfeel and complexity to each sip. I was cautious in my first sip due to the 95 proof label and expected instant heat and pepper to assault my nose and tongue. What happened was a slightly sweet full bodies liquid, that glided across my tongue, over the roof of my mouth, drifted slowly down my throat with slight pepper and only a slight heat. A pleasant surprise and what I was hoping for from this caramel mid-colored whiskey. The aftertaste was very pleasant and the sweetness of caramel, honey, and a touch of cinnamon peppery oak. The more I sipped (and the whiskey warmed from my hand on the glass), the more I began to taste faint vanilla and honey incorporated in the final notes.

Whiskybase B.V. is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce under no. 52072819. Taste: Thin and watery mouthfeel. Raw alcohol. It burns. There's also a lot of (artificial) sweetness here. A bit perfumy and green. Unless mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, your use of and membership to the Service are exclusively governed by Dutch law.

The finish is medium-long with intensifying rye spice and a surprising alcohol burn at only 95 proof. I found more sweet vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, and a heavy, lingering oak presence that rounds out the pour. In closing

Nose: A very nice nose like sweet cinnamon bread, baked tart apples and a touch of brown sugar. There’s buttery notes, raisins soaked in brandy and a little bit of banana laffy taffy. The origins of Statesman are intricately connected with those of their British counterparts, the Kingsman. The agency was most likely born during the tumultuous World War I period, but probably wasn't officially established until 1919, when the war was over.
