At well under $40 (in my neck oif the woods), there is still some '09 Old Forester Birthday Bourbon to be had. I believe this bourbon compares well against ANY bourbon out there on the market today. It has great balance, subtle yet robust layers of flavor in a complex array, generous sweetness and spice, and a perfect finish. It packs as much flavor into a 94 proof bourbon as any of which I am aware.
Anyone who has not tried BB '09 should give it a try. In my opinion, It is a worthy example of what making great bourbon is about, and, it is at a reasonable price point.
Looking for dusties? Put a few of these on your shelf and let them gather their own dust...........15 years out you will thank your own self for being so farsighted.
