Old Forester Single Barrel Whiskey

Old Forester Single Barrel Bourbon is the purest expression of individual barrel character in the Old Forester range — each bottle drawn from one barrel, no blending, no averaging across multiple sources, meaning that like fingerprints, no two bottles are exactly alike and each batch carries the specific flavor the character that its barrel developed during aging.

Old Forester has 150-plus years of production history to draw from when selecting single barrels — the distillery's knowledge of how different warehouse positions, production days, and aging conditions shape individual barrels is encyclopedic. The Single Barrel program applies that knowledge to identify barrels with exceptional individual character worth showcasing without blending. Each barrel produces a limited number of bottles; when the barrel is gone, that specific expression is gone. The 90-proof bottling allows the barrel's natural character to speak clearly without excessive dilution. Deep amber color and robust flavor profile in every bottle — with the understanding that the next bottle may differ slightly from this one.
