Every bottle comes from one individual barrel, so there is no other bourbon exactly like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOld Forester is the longest continually marketed bourbon in America, first sold by George Garvin Brown in 1870 and still made by the Brown-Forman family company in Louisville. Its single barrel program lets selected buyers taste barrels at the distillery and choose one to be bottled for them; since 2020 these picks have been offered at 100 proof or at barrel strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe selection code records where the barrel aged: Warehouse I, floor 8. Location in the warehouse shapes how a barrel matures, which is why each pick has its own personality, built on Old Forester's classic mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarrel picks like this are released in small numbers and are a favourite of bourbon fans who enjoy comparing barrels.\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\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old Forester (Brown-Forman), Louisville, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon\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\u003eSelection:\u003c\/strong\u003e I-8 (Warehouse I, floor 8)\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\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky, United States\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\u003eEnjoy it neat, with a splash of water or over a large ice cube, or make a classic Old Fashioned, a cocktail Old Forester's own history is tied to.
