Old Forester Description

Old Forester is a staple of American whiskey, specifically bourbon.  They were one of few distilleries to survive prohibition by being allowed to continue operating through the production of medicinal whiskey.  This fact gives them the unique opportunity to be an american distillery able to celebrate an anniversary greater than 89 years.  Old Forester first began distilling in 1870 in an era when whiskey was sold largely by the barrel and not bottled as we know whiskey and other liquors today. Old forester was actually one of the first producers to do so.  To ensure quality when each bottle was sealed the then owner, George Garvin Brown whould sign the bottles as a guarantee to his costumers of the quality.  This limiited release bottle commemorates their 150th anniversary of whiskey production.

 

It is is 125.6 proof, batch 1 was comprised of 46 barrels.  This batch can be desrcibed as being extremely fruit forward. It has been described as having,  “maple syrup and perfectly ripe orchard fruits, apricot and plum,” on the nose with “açaí and black current”.  The finish is rounded out with “graham cracker, subtle peppermint, long well-rounded spice, moderately dry.”
