Introducing Old Forester Private Selection Single Barrel Cask Strength Bourbon 129.5 Proof – a testament to the enduring legacy of a historic distillery that has been the beacon for bourbon enthusiasts since 1870. This exclusive release, meticulously crafted and bottled for ShopBourbon in collaboration with LoveScotch, offers a rare opportunity to savor a piece of history in a glass.
Old Forester remains the distinguished choice for those who seek authenticity in their bourbon. Rooted in the time-honored methods established by founder George Garvin Brown over 145 years ago, this single barrel cask strength bourbon epitomizes the brand's commitment to consistency, balance, and above all, quality.
The first sip reveals the unmistakable oakiness that signals the classic Old Forester profile. Brown sugar sweetness, with a hint of delightful burn, captivates the palate. Chocolate emerges, not in bar form, but as a velvety cocoa powder. Cherries and dried apricot pieces join the mix, creating a sensation reminiscent of a sophisticated cherry cordial. The palate is further enriched with nuances of apple butter and figs, while cinnamon, clove, and anise add depth and complexity to this exceptional bourbon experience.
