The President's Choice Labrot and Graham Distillery 100.4 Proof 1997

100.4 proof. The President’s Choice. Labrot & Graham Distillery — a pre-Woodford Reserve era expression bottled under the historic Labrot & Graham name, from the period before Brown-Forman rebranded the distillery as Woodford Reserve.

The Labrot & Graham Distillery — the oldest operating distillery in Kentucky, established in 1812 on Glenn’s Creek in Versailles — was rebranded by Brown-Forman as Woodford Reserve in the late 1990s as the distillery’s commercial identity shifted toward the premium bourbon market. Bottles labeled under the Labrot & Graham name predate that rebrand, making them pre-Woodford Reserve era production documents from a distillery with over 200 years of continuous history.

The President’s Choice designation at Labrot & Graham mirrors the same program known in the Old Forester lineup — a distillery-exclusive allocation for the most trusted accounts, presented at 100.4 proof at this expression’s specific specification.
