Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Strength [Mystery]

Thanks to /u/smoked_herring [+2] for the sample. How do you, a non-regular bourbon drinker, test yourself in hard ways? Why not one, but two mystery bourbon reviews! I drank this blind.

Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond

Thanks to /u/georgejessel for sharing this whiskey with me. I miss out on some new releases from time to time.
