Old Forester The President's Choice Bourbon Whiskey 2026 Release

A Singular Expression for the Distinguished Whisky Drinker

Experience one of the most exclusive and highly anticipated releases in American whiskey with the Old Forester The President's Choice Bourbon Whiskey 2026 Release. Inspired by the first private single barrels offered in the industry in 1964, this extraordinary Kentucky Straight Bourbon was hand-selected by Campbell P. Brown, a 5th generation family member. Historically reserved for VIPs, executives, and special guests of the brand, The President’s Choice label represents what Old Forester considers to be a singular expression of the world's finest bourbon.

Because this is a true single barrel release, please note that the exact barrel number, age statement, and ABV/proof will vary per bottle. For example, the featured bottle from Barrel #162 was meticulously aged for at least 88 months and bottled at a bold 57.70% ABV (115.4 proof). While the specific label metrics vary from cask to cask, every unique bottle is drawn from matured barrels that showcase exquisite quality, incredible depth of flavor, and distinct characteristics.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Classic aromas of cinnamon sticks, baking spices, and toasted oak, mingling with freshly baked raisin bread, vanilla bean, and brown sugar.
• Palate: Rich and deeply complex, featuring waves of warm cinnamon spice, dark cherry, baked pie crust, and deep caramel nougat.
