I picked up the 1920 recently but haven’t opened it yet. The 1910 was another I was interested in. Seems you are enjoying it!

I'll include a more refined reviewer's description below. I get a nice sweetness with a smokiness that goes down smooooooth. I over simplify. Here's a professional's take.

NOSE
Oaky and lightly sweet. Rich caramel leads the way with an undertone of vanilla, fresh baked cake, frosting, and a dab of sweet pecans. A light layer of rich oak rounds it out. It’s subtle yet easy to appreciate and foreshadows the rest of the sip. I found the nose continued to become more and more enjoyable as I let the pour sit in the glass. This is one bourbon that you’ll want to take your time with when drinking.

palate
Old Forester 1910 delivers a nice, thick and chewy mouthfeel. The sugars from the char are really evident. The palate is sickly sweet with a heavy layer of burnt caramel and vanilla. Hidden deep beneath are dark berries along with toasted marshmallows. All of these flavors rest upon a layer of oak. It’s amazing how viscous the mouthfeel is. It’s not incredibly deep in terms of flavor range, however it’s extremely enjoyable.

finish
While oak played a role in the nose and palate, oak is front and center in the finish. A dominating flavor of charred oak leads the charge and is intermingled with a light dose of caramel and vanilla. These sweeter flavors fade and are replaced with dry leather and light cigar box. These flavors linger for an unusually long time. It’s a satisfying finish and one that makes you realize how well this bourbon might pair with a cigar.

Finally tracked down my first bottle of Blanton’s and for $58! Can’t wait to crack this guy open tonight.

Oooh one of my favorites.

We don't get many cold nights down here in SoCal but when I'm backpacking in the Sierra, I bring Aberlour A'bunadh. Definitely warms you up when you're above treeline.

You'll hate me but it has popped up in the past at my Costco for around $55 (I think). I stocked up!

Johnny Walker Green Label. A very smooth blend from four Scottish distilleries.
