Bourbon & Rye

[Chin Diesel]

I tried this myself and didnt really care for it. Though I did like it more than the 1920 on its own. That one has this cherry cough drop note ( think Ludens if you are old enough to know what that is ) that I am not crazy about. Love that 1910 though, but I am a full on double oak stan.

Well, the 1920 was the prohibition-legal bourbon recipe which could only be sold via a prescription from a doctor so the Luden comment seems reasonable.

I was informed over the weekend people are blending the Old Forrester 1910 and 1920 in a 50/50 mix. It's called a 1915.

Take the sweeter 93 proof 1910 and mix with the spicier 115 proof 1920.

And I'll be damned if it doesn't taste outstanding.

Tried it with my son and brother in law yesterday and all agreed it tasted better than either the 1910 or 1920 did individually.

On a side note, that is my brother in law's glass with all the cubes. I was busting his balls all weekend over killing good bourbons with all the cubes.

I did make him try each of the 1910, the 1920 and then the mix neat before I let him put the cubes in his glass.

And its the really nasty fridge ice maker cubes too. Freaking yuck. If you have to use ice at least make some that isnt that, which always tastes off to me.
