DESCRIPTION

The first of the Old Forester Whiskey Row series. Limited quantities on hand and it ships while supplies last.

Old Forester 1870 Original Batch: Three Warehouses Blended the Way George Garvin Brown Did It

In 1870, George Garvin Brown crafted batches of whisky at 322 W. Main St. on Louisville's Whiskey Row by blending barrels from three different distilleries' warehouses to achieve consistency, and in doing so created the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed glass. Old Forester 1870 Original Batch recreates that method with three separate batches of barrels, bottled at 90 proof.

Old Forester is the only bourbon continuously sold by the same family before, during and after Prohibition. The Whiskey Row series walks through pivotal years in that history, and 1870 is where all of it starts.

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Sweet corn, orange peel and vanilla with light oak and a hint of mint.
  • Palate: Balanced and lively. Caramel, cherry and butterscotch over gentle rye spice.
  • Finish: Medium and warm, closing on vanilla, oak and sweet spice.

How to Enjoy

  • Neat: the clearest read on the three batch blend.
  • On the rocks: holds up well at 90 proof.
  • Mint Julep: Old Forester is the official bourbon of the Kentucky Derby for a reason.
  • Gift idea: a great gift for anyone who likes bourbon history in the glass.
