This episode of Aussie Bourbon Lovers is all about the Old Forester 117 Series Bottled in Bond — a surprise last-minute pickup at the distillery in Louisville that turned out to be a showstopper.

We unpack:

• 🥃 What makes this 100-proof Bottled in Bond bourbon special

• 🛍️ The story of how we accidentally ended up buying it

• 🍰 Tasting notes that include buttery caramel, vanilla, and pecan pie

• 🎁 How merch shopping turned into a bourbon score

Tiny bottle, big flavour, and one of the best noses we’ve had in a while.
