Old Forester 1910 "Old Fine Whiskey" Bourbon Whiskey pays tribute to a historic moment in bourbon history. When a fire halted bottling in 1910, Old Forester double-barreled the whiskey—creating a richer, more complex profile. This 750 mL release recreates that legacy with a modern twist, offering deep character through secondary aging in heavily charred oak barrels.
