Old Forester - 100 proof Bourbon
A Classic Bartenders Favorite
Old Forester Signature 100 Proof Bourbon, celebrated for its rich, complex, and robust profile, is a testament to the legacy of founder George Garvin Brown.
This bourbon honors Brown's tradition by featuring his signature on every bottle, underscoring Old Forester's status as the longest-running bourbon brand marketed continuously, including during Prohibition for medicinal purposes.
The mashbill consists of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, contributing to its deep copper color and full-flavored taste profile, which includes sweet caramel, cherry brightness, and ample oak on the nose, followed by bold oak, punchy pecans, and caramelized maple syrup on the palate.
The finish brings pepper, clove, and seasoned oak into focus, although it's slightly blemished by a mildly dank and overly oaked aftertaste.
This bourbon is highlighted for its balance of dark fruit, wood, and vanilla, offering a very sippable experience even at 100 proof.
A well-regarded choice among bourbon enthusiasts, celebrated for its rich flavor, historical significance, and excellent value!

In the midst of savoring Old Forester Classic 86 Proof, one cannot help but relish the splendid sharpness that swiftly softens, revealing delightful hints of oak, sweet corn, and rye grain. The ongoing spiciness, along with the gentle presence of vanilla and light orange notes, adds depth and enjoyment to this fine pick. As one lingers on the long, warm, and slightly drying finish, an outstanding level of sweetness enhances the overall experience.

Smoothly sharp, this oak-forward whisky satisfies the senses with a warm, slightly drying finish.

In my opinion, Old Forester 86 has a delicious blend of oak, sweet corn, and rye grain flavors. The spicy kick, soft vanilla, and light orange hints add an extra layer of complexity.

The taste is sharp, but it's so damn smooth with hints of oak and a lil' spiciness. 🤤 So happy to have finally tried it!
