Description

Look at this beast, 1750 milliliters heavy (almost half a gallon), distilled and bottled by Brown-Forman in Louisville, Kentucky. Did you know Old Forester is officially the longest running bourbon brand on the market today? It's been around approximately 149 years as of 2020. It is the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles too. The Old Forester Signature is a giant pour at 100 proof. This rich, complex bourbon is handpicked from select barrels and bottled at 100 proof to maintain its distinct character and full flavor profile. It is a favorite among bartenders.
