Description
Step back in time with Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky, a rich and smooth double-barreled bourbon that pays tribute to a historic moment on Whiskey Row. In 1910, a fire halted production at the Old Forester distillery, leaving a batch of whiskey stranded. Rather than discard it, the spirit was re-barreled in heavily charred barrels, resulting in an exceptional, full-bodied bourbon with deep caramel, chocolate, and smoky oak notes.
Today, Old Forester continues this tradition by double-barreling the whiskey, creating a silky-smooth and layered bourbon with flavors reminiscent of toasted marshmallow, dark fruit, and baking spices. At 93 proof (46.5% ABV), this Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a testament to resilience, craftsmanship, and the spirit of innovation.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Rich caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak
- Palate: Deep chocolate, dried fruit, and warm baking spice
- Finish: Long, smooth, and slightly smoky with hints of toffee and charred oak
How to Enjoy:

- In a Classic Cocktail: Elevates an Old Fashioned with its rich, deep profile
