Tasting Note
A favorite of bartenders, 100 Proof honors the legacy of founder George Garvin Brown who put his signature on every bottle. And this bourbon is one he would be proud to have his name on today. Handpicked from select barrels, Old Forester 100 Proof is a rich, complex bourbon. Spicy and robust, it is bottled at 100 Proof to maintain its distinct character and full flavor profile. Nose : Strong, sweet coffee laced with chocolate, creamy butterscotch and a hint of liquorice. Taste : Ripe apple and other sweet fruit, bakery spice (clove and nutmeg), and toasted oak. Finish : Sweet and light, with hints of oak and apple that linger a bit.

Old Forester
Old Forester is a brand of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced by the Brown-Forman Corporation. It is officially the longest running Bourbon on the market today (approximately 145 years as of 2016) and was the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed bottles. It was first bottled and marketed in 1870 by the former pharmaceutical salesman turned bourbon-merchant George Garvin Brown – the founder of the Brown-Forman Corporation (whose descendants still manage the company). During the Prohibition period from 1920 to 1933, it was one of only 10 brands authorized for lawful production (for medicinal purposes). Old Forester is produced under the supervision of Master Distiller Chris Morris (as of 2006) at the Brown-Forman distillery in Shively, Kentucky (which is located directly adjacent to the pre-merger Southwest boundary of Louisville) using a mash bill of 72% corn (maize), 18% rye, and 10% malted barley (the same mash bill used for Woodford Reserve).
