Process & Profile

Old Forester Single Barrel “The Barrel Tap” Private Select Bourbon Vol. 3 is your exclusive, one-barrel selection chosen for maximum intensity and character. Bottled at a massive 131.2 proof, this release showcases the bold, concentrated side of Old Forester—deep caramelized sweetness, heavy oak structure, and a spice-forward finish that keeps building.

The barrel’s home—Warehouse K, Floor 6—matters. Upper floors typically see bigger temperature swings, which can drive more oak interaction and push darker, more robust flavors into the whiskey over time. The result is a Private Select that drinks rich, powerful, and structured, with a thick mouthfeel that holds up beautifully neat and opens up dramatically with a few drops of water.
