Nice sipper, solid mixer
My first experience with OF 1897 has been quite good. Started with a straight pour over a large ice cube with just a splash of water. The first sip starts with a light scent of honey and flavor blend of corn, brown sugar and vanilla with just enough heat and spice to still be smooth. A couple more sips revealed a little more heat and some caramel and light fruit flavors. Overall a nice sipper, though not on the top tier. As a base for an Old Fashioned or other bourbon cocktail, it's very good. The flavors meld nicely with quality bitters. Try it in a Chocolate Old Fashioned with chocolate bitters and fancy cherries!
