A historic, high-proof staple built for the modern palate.
Old Forester 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (historically known as Old Forester Signature) is a direct nod to the distillery’s legendary past. Old Forester holds the historic title of being America’s first bottled bourbon, and this 100-proof expression is engineered to mirror the rich, full-bodied whiskeys poured before Prohibition.
Crafted from Old Forester’s signature high-rye mash bill (72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley), this bourbon undergoes a proprietary fermentation process using the distillery’s unique house yeast strain. Bottled at a sturdy 100 proof, it provides the perfect amount of structural warmth and intensity. It is specifically designed to hold its own against heavy mixers, citrus, and melting ice without losing its distinct character, making it a beloved favorite among professional bartenders worldwide.
Tasting Profile
Appearance: Rich, brilliant copper with golden honey hues.
Aroma: Strongly aromatic and sweet. Heavy notes of rich caramel, maple syrup, and sweet oak are accompanied by Old Forester’s signature fruit forwardness—notably ripe banana and dark cherry—balanced by a hint of sharp rye spice.
Palate: Rich, oily, and mouth-filling. The initial sip brings a heavy wave of sweet chocolate, brown sugar, and toasted nuts. This sweetness is quickly countered by a bold, complex mid-palate of cracked black pepper, cinnamon, and charred oak wood.
Finish: Long, warm, and highly satisfying. The heavy barrel char notes and bold baking spices linger on the tongue, rounding out with a dry, clean hint of apple peel and herbal spice.
Whether you are looking for a reliable, deeply flavorful glass to enjoy neat at the end of the day or searching for the absolute perfect, punchy foundation for a backyard Mint Julep or a sophisticated Boulevardier, Old Forester 100 Proof is a mandatory addition to any home bar.
