Old Forester 1910

Introduction

Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky is produced in the United States, within the region of Kentucky and the subregion of Louisville. This expression is part of the Whiskey Row Series and is produced by the Brown–Forman Corporation, which was founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown. The distillery is noted for being the only bourbon brand produced before, during, and after Prohibition, and it remains under the management of the founder's descendants today.

Spirit Description

This unique expression is a double-barreled bourbon that undergoes a second maturation in a heavily charred oak barrel to replicate a historic 1910 production accident. It presents a dark bronze colour and an aroma consisting of interlaced layers of buttercream, sticky toffee, cedar, and apricot. The palate is smooth and well rounded, featuring notes of sweet oatmeal raisin cookies, milk chocolate, caramel corn, and evolving baking spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. It possesses a full body with a viscous yet slightly dry mouthfeel, leading to a finish of charred oak and clean peripheral spice.
