Old Forester 1924 10 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Old Forester's longstanding mashbill is 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley. But the mashbill chosen for 1924 is 79% corn, 11% rye and 10% malted barley. It also was fermented with a unique yeast strain.

The Whiskey Row Series 1924 10 Year Old is a limited annual release celebrating another milestone in Old Forester s storied history.

During Prohibition, more than 200 distilleries were forced to close. Old Forester, however, continued operations because the federal government issued us one of six medicinal licenses, P-3. In 1924, Old Forester acquired barrels from closed distillers, with different mash bills, and bottled that liquid as Old Forester. This release commemorates that moment in time.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Soft notes of fudge, cocoa, marzipan, and cured tobacco layered over hints of rich oak and warm cinnamon.

Taste: Chocolate covered graham cracker dusted with cinnamon.

Finish: Hints of spice and graham cracker crumbles.

"What an absolutely fantastic dram from start to finish. I was thinking this would be good before I had it, but I didn t think it would be this good. The similarities between 1924 and King of Kentucky were instantly recognizable to me." - Mike, The Bourbon Culture (90 Points)

"The Whiskey Row Series is back in the spotlight thanks to 1924, debuting a new mashbill and a 10 year age statement, but despite a satisfying sip, its price will be a point of contention." - Eric Hasman, Breaking Bourbon
