Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Created in 1870 by George Garvin Brown, Old Forester holds the prestigious title of being the first commercially bottled bourbon, and the only one continuously distilled and marketed by the founding family before, during, and after Prohibition. Bottled at a classic 86 proof, it delivers a genuinely rich, full, and exceptionally balanced flavor profile. It is a true Kentucky staple that provides a beautiful harmony of sweet fruit, warm oak, and gentle spice, making it a highly versatile everyday pour.

NOSE

Sharp and sweet, featuring a strong floral character that swirls with hints of fresh mint, rich tobacco leaf, and vanilla.

PALATE

A touch of oak and pine provides a strong underpinning. It opens with a bright, spicy snap that softens quickly into sweet corn, warm vanilla, and light orange notes.

FINISH

Long, warm, and slightly drying with a perfectly balanced, lingering sweetness.

Food Pairing: Splendidly complements barbecue ribs, smoked brisket, grilled steak, fried chicken, maple-glazed pork, pecan pie, and dark chocolate desserts.
