Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond Bourbon

Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond honors a watershed moment in bourbon history – the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. Each year, the distillers at Brown-Forman stock a small amount of the highest quality whiskey they produce in their warehouses. This expression follows the Bottled in Bond standards that whisky must be aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years, the product of one distillation season and one distillery, bottled at 100 Proof. The concept behind these regulations – the idea of ‘sealed in quality’ – was something Old Forester introduced in 1870 as America’s First Bottled Bourbon. The spirit is crafted according to the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, which requires each bottle to be made from a single distilling season and from a single distillery's product. With notes of caramel and vanilla, this 100 proof whiskey is ideal for enjoying neat or on ice. TASTING NOTES AROMA Robust, intense caramel. TASTE Rich vanilla with roasted coffee notes, spiced dark fruit and mature oak. Mouth-filling. Sweet and intense. FINISH Deep fruit, spice and oak notes layered over dark caramel and vanilla. Big and bold.
