Tasting Notes

Old Forester 1924 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a limited-release expression honoring the distillery’s legacy during Prohibition. Aged for a full decade, it offers depth and maturity while showcasing Old Forester’s signature style. The nose opens with aromas of caramel, vanilla, and honey layered with toasted oak, baking spice, and dried fruit. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, delivering flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, cocoa, and cinnamon balanced by clove, orange peel, and subtle leather. The long aging gives it a smooth, velvety texture and remarkable complexity. The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of caramel, oak, and spice.
