Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond Bourbon Whiskey 375ml

The second release in Old Forester's Whiskey Row series, honoring the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, a piece of legislation Old Forester itself helped set the standard for when it introduced "sealed in quality" bottling back in 1870. True to the Act's requirements, this expression is the product of a single distillation season at a single distillery, aged a minimum of four years in a federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at exactly 100 proof. Made from Old Forester's classic mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, expect a nose of sweet honey and vanilla with a hint of smoke, moving into a rich palate of salted caramel, dark fruit, and warm allspice, finishing with a distinct smokiness and lingering oak. A well-balanced, historically grounded bonded bourbon from one of the category's oldest continuously run brands.
