Old Forester Tribute Series 2026 12 Year Old Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes
Nose: Rich caramel and toasted oak, warm vanilla, dried fruit (fig and raisin), with hints of baking spice and citrus peel.
Palate: Medium-full and layered — brown sugar and toffee sweetness complemented by cinnamon, clove, and gentle rye spice, framed by elegant oak tannins and subtle dark chocolate notes.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering sweet spice, toasted oak, and a soft, rounded warmth that gradually fades.
Distillery Information
Old Forester Distillery, founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown in Louisville, Kentucky, holds the distinction of being the first bottled bourbon sold commercially — predating modern bottling standards and establishing a benchmark for quality and consistency. The brand remained in continuous operation through Prohibition under a medicinal license and has since grown into one of America’s most respected bourbon producers. The Tribute Series honors this heritage by drawing inspiration from vintage Old Forester expressions and historical milestones, blending traditional mash bills with contemporary aging to showcase rich flavor and structural balance. The 12 Year Old Tribute release exemplifies the distillery’s commitment to time-honored bourbon character, marrying deep oak maturation with nuanced sweetness and spice — ideal for sipping neat or in elevated classic cocktails.
