About This Bourbon
Batch 03 closes Old Forester's 150th Anniversary series. At 126.8 proof from 53 barrels, it is the strongest and largest of the three, and the distillery framed it around green, herbal spice rather than fruit.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Dill, bright orange peel and light brown sugar, with a pine-needle freshness.
- Palate: Starts herbal, then sweetens towards melon and pine, backed by rosemary and oak.
- Finish: Medium-dry, with green peppercorn, grapefruit peel and a lingering anise note.
Serving & Food
Taste it neat, then with a little water. The herbal side suits roast lamb with rosemary, fennel sausage or a sharp aged Cheddar.

About the Distillery
George Garvin Brown founded Old Forester in Louisville in 1870, and Brown-Forman, still controlled by his family, owns it. He sold it only in sealed bottles, so buyers knew it had not been tampered with.
