Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky
Please note, labels may vary
On October 22nd. 1910, a fire on the bottling line halted production of Old Forester. Mature whisky ready to be bottled, instead was stored in a secondary barrel. What emerged was a delightful whisky, remarkable enough to become an entirely new expressions – Old Fine Whisky.
Today mimicking this historic bottling, this unique expression of Old Forester has undergone a second barreling, granting it exceptional character, a smooth and sweet flavor and a clean, crisp finish. Entering the second barrel at a low 100 proof allows more of the sweet wood sugars to dissolve into the whiskey. 1910 Old Fine Whiskey is the fourth and final expression of the Whiskey Row Series, presented at 93 proof.
The fourth and final installment in the popular "Whiskey Row" series from OF is arguably the most exciting. Another recreation of an historical whiskey from the firms archives, 1910 takes a finished batch of Old Forester and re-barrels it at 100 proof in very heavily charred barrels. The extra time helps it pick up intense, concentrated aromas typically found in whiskies much older than this. The high bottling proof and healthy 18% of rye in the mix really help keep everything in check and elevate this to a superlative drinking experience.
