I'm somewhat new to bourbon tasting. I've been intro craft beer for a while but I thought it would be interesting to try some different bourbon's because whisky has always tickled my fancy. Now, I've tried a few: Jim Beam Black, Knob Creek, Woodford Reserve and Old Forrester and I've found I really enjoy old Forrester. I'm not the greatest at picking up on scents and tastes of the bourbons but I like how thick and bold the Forrester tastes. Woodford is tasty aswell and seems to have a little more complexity and I like that but I think the Beam black is just to thin and straightforward. The knob creek isn't bad but doesn't taste dark or bold enough for me. I'm looking to pick up a new bourbon to try for the new year, I'm think something with a thick mouth feel, some vanilla notes and a little complexity is what I'm looking for. If you've got any recommendations post away.
