Buy Old Forester Straight Bourbon 100 Proof 750ml
Experience the bold, time-honored tradition of America’s historic bourbon maker with Old Forester Straight Bourbon 100 Proof. First crafted by George Garvin Brown in 1870, Old Forester holds the distinction of being America’s first bottled bourbon, continuously produced by the same founding family before, during, and after Prohibition.
Available now at World of Whiskey Shop, this 100 Proof (50% ABV) expression is hand-selected from choice barrels across the distillery’s historic Louisville rickhouses. Crafted using a classic high-rye mash bill—72% Corn, 18% Rye, and 10% Malted Barley—it is matured in heavily charred oak barrels manufactured in Brown-Forman’s own cooperage. Bottled at a robust 100 proof, it delivers the rich, full-bodied intensity preferred by bartenders, mixologists, and whiskey purists seeking authentic Kentucky character.
In the glass, it displays a vibrant, deep amber-copper color. The nose opens with an inviting, assertive aroma of sweet caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla bean, layered with subtle notes of sharp spice, ripe apple, and dark chocolate. On the palate, a full-bodied, rich texture unfolds with bold flavors of sweet coffee, butterscotch, ripe plum, and toasted nuts, balanced by sharp rye spice, cinnamon, and warm oak staves. The finish is long, warm, and lingering, slowly subsiding with sweet oak spice, cocoa, and gentle charred wood notes.
An exceptionally versatile, high-proof spirit, Old Forester Straight Bourbon 100 Proof excels when enjoyed neat, with a splash of limestone water, on the rocks, or as the spirit backbone in classic cocktails like a Manhattan, Boulevardier, or Old Fashioned.
