Description

Old Forester 100 Proof


Distilled in Spring 1971, bottled in Fall 1976, good level, carton heavily worn


Though it is often less sought after than some other labels from the 1970s, Old Forester is the quintessence of dusty bourbon: silky and rich, with layers of caramel sweetness rarely found in more modern whiskeys. Distilled in the spring of 1971 and bottled in the fall of 1976, it is a true bottled-in-bond bourbon, at a time when most distilleries were dropping proof levels to match changing consumer tastes. This is one collectible bottle that should not go unopened. 


1 4/5 quart (oc)
