Pairs With
This versatile 100 proof bourbon pairs beautifully with barbecued ribs, smoked meats, rich chocolate desserts, and mature cheeses, whilst also serving as a favourite of bartenders for crafting classic cocktails that require a bourbon with backbone and character.
In 1870, Old Forester's founder George Garvin Brown revolutionised the industry by sealing bourbon in a glass bottle for the first time, putting his signature on every bottle as a guarantee of quality. Today, Old Forester remains America's longest continuously distilled bourbon brand, produced at the historic distillery in Louisville, Kentucky. Old Forester Signature 100 Proof continues this tradition of excellence, with each bottle handpicked from select barrels to ensure a rich, complex bourbon that George Garvin Brown would be proud to have his name on today. The distillery's commitment to quality and innovation has made Old Forester a favourite amongst bourbon enthusiasts and bartenders alike.
Production Notes
Old Forester 100 Proof is crafted using a traditional mash bill and aged in new charred American oak barrels, allowing the spirit to develop its characteristic spicy, robust flavour profile. Bottled at 100 proof, this expression maintains its distinct character and full flavour intensity, preserving the rich vanilla, caramel, coffee, and dark chocolate notes developed during maturation. Each barrel is carefully selected to ensure consistency and quality, with the higher proof point delivering a bold bourbon that stands up beautifully in cocktails whilst remaining smooth enough to enjoy neat or with a splash of water.
