Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Bourbon Whisky

The Old Forester 1910 “Old Fine Whisky” is a rich, double-barreled bourbon from Old Forester’s renowned Whiskey Row Series, paying homage to the 1910 fire incident that inspired its second barreling.

🏛️ Heritage & Concept

• Created after a fire in 1910 halted bottling—aged bourbon was moved into secondary charred barrels. Today's version mimics that process: aged in a new oak barrel, re-barreled into heavily toasted/charred oak at 100 proof, and bottled at 93 proof (46.5 % ABV).

• It's the fourth and final release in the Whiskey Row Series.

👃 Aroma (Nose)

Offers interwoven layers of buttercream, sticky toffee, cedar, apricot, warm molasses, dark chocolate, and roasted nuts.

👅 Palate (Taste)

• Texture: Viscous, chewy, and smooth. Rich mouthfeel with a bold oak presence 

• Flavors: A dessert-forward profile featuring caramel, milk chocolate, oatmeal-raisin cookie, caramel corn, toasted marshmallow, hazelnut, banana chips, cherries, dark brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black coffee 

🍂 Finish

• The finish is medium to long, marked by charred oak, dry leather, cigar box, dark chocolate, black coffee, tobacco leaf, and lingering caramel 

• Some tasters note a slight abrupt, astringent oak or herbal edge 

✅ Style & Reception

• This expression is a storytelling bourbon—double-barreled, dessert-rich, and oak-forward 

• It’s frequently compared to Woodford Reserve Double Oaked—with bolder sweet-char character 

• Awards include a Gold medal at the 2023 San Francisco Spirits Competition and 93 points from Ultimate Spirits Challenge 

🍷 Best Enjoyed…

• Neat or gently on the rocks to showcase the sweet and char layers, or paired with dark chocolate or a robust cigar .

• Ideal for those drawn to rich oak, caramel, and mocha-like profiles—but aficionados of high-proof complexity may seek bolder expressions 

✅ Summary

Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky is an indulgent, narrative-rich bourbon featuring a lush, dessert-style palate, creamy texture, and smoky-char finish. Its storytelling double-barrel maturation and approachable 93-proof delivery make it a standout within Old Forester’s Heritage Series—perfect for quiet sipping or pairing with dark sweets.
