Process & Profile

Old Forester 100 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is built on the brand’s long-standing reputation as America’s first bottled bourbon.

Bottled at 100 proof, this expression delivers a richer, spicier, and more robust version of the classic Old Forester profile, offering enhanced depth, structure, and heat without sacrificing approachability.

How to Enjoy

Old Forester 100 Proof is excellent neat for those who enjoy a bold bourbon, or with a large ice cube to soften the spice while highlighting caramel and oak.
