Old Forester 86 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 375ml
Old Forester 86 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon delivers a historically documented tasting profile housed in a precise 375ml third-size vessel.
Originally distilled in 1870 as the first whiskey sold exclusively in glass bottles, this expression honors traditional production methods with a heavy-corn, high-rye mash bill matured in newly charched American oak barrels. The resulting spirit offers a predictable balance of vanilla extract, toasted almond, cooked apple, and a light dusting of allspice on the finish. Because Brown-Forman controls aging humidity and warehouse racking schedules, every pour maintains consistent viscosity and clarity whether served neat, on the rocks, or diluted slightly with filtered water.
The compact half-bottle format addresses specific purchasing preferences without sacrificing functional pour capacity. A single 375ml measure yields approximately eight standard 1.5oz servings, making it straightforward to compare two contrasting bourbons side-by-side or maintain controlled portion sizes during casual weekends. The tapered neck minimizes post-pour dripping, and the pigment-stable label protects volatile aromatic compounds from ultraviolet degradation. Store the bottle upright at stable room temperature away from heat sources to keep the closure pliable and prevent alcohol evaporation. Verify local legal drinking age requirements before checkout and consume responsibly.
