Detailed Description
The Old Fortune brand, according to those at the liquor store Bitters & Bottles, came about as the result of a partnership between the store and a small, unnamed distillery that’s local to the shop and which also is known for sourcing from MGP. Those at this distillery apparently alerted the store to some very old light whiskey aging at MGP, and together they sourced four 25 year old casks for this release.
Old Fortune Small Batch 25 Year Old American Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Soft melted caramel on the nose, with a wisp of vanilla bean and oak. The aroma hints at the great amount of time spent in barrel, time which has pushed off any hint of alcohol, makes on think they’re sniffing at whiskey-infused buttercream instead of 94 proof.
Palate: On the palate tart fruit and caramel corn mingle with gentle maple and sawdust, complex layers of flavor slowly unfurl, and despite 25+ years spent in wood, the body remains soft and supple, surely thanks to the second use oak barrel.
Finish: Long a rich.
