Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Bourbon

1910 Old Fine Bourbon Whiskey, Old Forester's fourth and final expression in the Whiskey Row Series, is a double-barreled Bourbon creating a smooth mingling of sweet oatmeal raisin cookie and milk chocolate, caramel corn, and evolving spice that lead into a refined, charred oak finish. The aroma offers interlaced layers of buttercream, sticky toffee, cedar, and apricot. The palate is smooth and well rounded, a mingling of sweet oatmeal raisin cookie and milk chocolate leading into caramel corn and evolving spice. The finish delivers notes of charred oak leading with a clean peripheral spice. Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Bourbon Whiskey represents a specific point in Old Forester's nearly 150-year-old history. In October 1910, a fire caused the bottling line to be shut down for an indefinite period of time. Complicating matters, there was a vat of mature whiskey waiting to be bottled. Otherwise facing ruin, this whiskey was instead stored in new, charred oak containers to rest until the line could be repaired. This double barreling was the first such documented of its kind and led to it gaining the name Old Fine Whiskey. Enjoy!
