The distillery’s commitment to consistency means every bottle offers the same approachable character that made Old Forester the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles, protecting quality and authenticity.

Nose: The initial pour releases inviting aromas of butterscotch and vanilla cream, layered with hints of toasted oak, dark fruit and a touch of baking spice that suggests cinnamon and nutmeg.

Palate: On the tongue, Old Forester opens with a medium body and balanced sweetness, offering flavours of caramel, honey and dried apricot, complemented by warm notes of cinnamon, black pepper and a gentle oak presence that adds structure without overwhelming.

Finish: The finish is moderate in length with lingering warmth, leaving behind pleasant echoes of vanilla, spice and a subtle grain sweetness that invites the next sip.

Enjoy Old Forester Bourbon neat to appreciate its full flavour profile, with a splash of water to open up the aromatics, over a single large ice cube for a chilled sipper, or as the base spirit in classic bourbon cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour.
