A Historic Layers-of-Speed Bourbon Full of Sweet Depth – Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Straight Bourbon Whisky
Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky is a tribute to a dramatic moment in bourbon history — when a 1910 fire halted the distillery’s bottling line, leading to a bold double-barreling that gave birth to a richer, more complex spirit.
Tasting Experience
Color: Deep amber with warm toasted oak tones.
Nose: A rich and layered bouquet of buttercream, sticky toffee, apricot, and cedar.
Palate: Smooth and dessert-like — it unfolds with oatmeal-raisin cookie sweetness, milk chocolate, caramel corn, and warm baking spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.
Finish: Clean yet charred, with lingering oak warmth and a gentle peripheral spice.
Craftsmanship
-
Inspired by an event from October 22, 1910, when mature whiskey was re-barreled into charred oak after a fire stopped production.
-
Matured bourbon is proofed down to 100 proof and given a second aging in heavily charred, new oak barrels, allowing deep wood sugars to infuse without overpowering.
-
This double-barrel finishing process is modeled directly from the historic “Old Fine” whiskey produced in the aftermath of the fire.
-
Bottled at 93 proof for balanced richness and drinkability.
-
The fourth and final release in Old Forester’s Whiskey Row Series, celebrating the brand’s storied past.
