Old Forester Bourbon 1924 10 year 750ml
Old Forester 1924 is the fifth release in the company’s Whiskey Row Series. It follows 1870 Original Batch (2014), 1897 Bottled in Bond (2015), 1910 Old Fine Whisky (2018), 1920 Prohibition Style (2017). Old Forester 1924 features a new mashbill for the company: 79% corn, 11% rye, and 10% malted barley, and sports a 10 year age statement. According to Old Forester, “During Prohibition, more than 200 distilleries in Kentucky alone were forced to close. Old Forester, however, continued operations because the federal government issued it one of six permits to bottle existing whiskey stocks as medicine. In 1924, Old Forester acquired barrels from closed distillers, with different mash bills, and bottled that liquid as Old Forester.” Old Forester 1924 will be an annual limited release. No bottle count was given for its first release.
