Old Forester 1910 Old Fine Whisky Bourbon

1910 Old Fine Whisky is Old Forester double-barreled — fully matured bourbon put into a second lightly toasted, heavily charred barrel — recreating what happened when a 1910 fire shut the bottling line and the whisky had nowhere to go but new wood. Old Forester was the first bourbon sold exclusively in sealed glass bottles, George Garvin Brown's 1870 guarantee; the Whiskey Row series marks four moments in its history, and 1910 is the accident: with mature whisky waiting and the line down, the company re-barreled it in new charred oak, and the result was so good it was sold as Old Fine Whisky. Today's 1910 is the house 72% corn, 18% rye, 10% malted barley mashbill from Shively, fully aged, then finished in a second lightly toasted, heavily charred barrel from Brown-Forman's own cooperage, and bottled at 93 proof. Breaking Bourbon: caramel with vanilla, baked cake, frosting, and pecan on a nose that improves in the glass; a thick, chewy palate of burnt caramel and vanilla with dark berries and toasted marshmallow; and a finish of charred oak into dry leather and cigar box — 3.5 out of 5. Honest note: the dessert Old Forester — the double-oaked bourbon for the Woodford Double Oaked drinker who wants more char and less sugar, and the after-dinner pour in the series. Neat or a single cube. Old Forester, 1910.
