Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky is the fourth release in Old Forester's Whiskey Row Series, which tells the story of America's longest continually marketed bourbon through its bottles. It is bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV).
It is inspired by a fire on the bottling line in 1910 that forced mature whisky into a second set of barrels. Today, 1910 recreates that accident: fully matured bourbon is moved into a second, heavily charred barrel for additional ageing.
The double barreling creates a smooth, well-rounded whisky with sweet oatmeal raisin cookie and milk chocolate leading into caramel corn and evolving spice, layered over buttercream and toasted notes.
Rich and dessert-like, 1910 is one of the most popular bottles in the Whiskey Row Series and a fine gift.
Bourbon 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.
