Today Old Forester is made in Louisville, and the 100 Proof bottling, with its orange accents, is a richer, bolder version of the brand's signature bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all Old Forester bourbons, it is made from 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley. Bottled at 100 proof, it delivers a strong, sweet profile with plenty of spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntense aromas of coffee, chocolate and rich butterscotch mingle with a hint of licorice on the nose. The palate brings sweet fruit and toasted oak, and the finish is long and spicy, with nutmeg, black pepper and maple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is excellent neat for those who enjoy a bold bourbon, or over a large ice cube to soften the spice while highlighting caramel and oak. At 100 proof it also makes an outstanding Old Fashioned or Manhattan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBourbon must be made in the United States from a mash of at least 51% corn and aged in new charred oak containers, and straight bourbon must be aged at least two years. Those rules give bourbon its characteristic sweetness, with caramel and vanilla drawn from the charred barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee, chocolate, butterscotch, licorice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet fruit, toasted oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, nutmeg, black pepper, maple.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Forester, Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky straight bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 proof (50% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or over a large cube, or stir an Old Fashioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the mash bill?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is Old Forester famous?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1870 it became America's first bottled bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoffee, chocolate, butterscotch and a spicy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003eBourbon collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Forester","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68083173294389,"sku":"VWS_200419632","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-32694.webp?v=1793993390","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/old-forester-100-proof-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whisky-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
