Old Forester The President’s Choice Bourbon Whiskey is one of the most exclusive and sought-after single barrel expressions in the brand’s portfolio, honoring a tradition that began in 1964 when Old Forester’s leaders hand-selected their finest private barrels for close friends and dignitaries. Today, this legacy continues with barrels personally chosen by the brand’s current president, making each release a rare piece of Old Forester history.
Barrel No. 162, aged at least 88 months, showcases the patience and craftsmanship that define the series. Distilled from Old Forester’s signature mash bill of 72% corn, 18% rye, and 10% malted barley, this bourbon is bottled at barrel strength, ensuring its full depth of character shines through. Extended maturation in heavily charred American oak barrels enriches the spirit with remarkable layers of flavor and complexity.
The nose opens with rich aromas of brown sugar, caramel, toasted oak, and dried cherry. The palate is bold yet balanced, offering waves of vanilla, dark chocolate, ripe stone fruit, and warm baking spice, accented by hints of leather and roasted nuts. The finish is long and warming, leaving lingering notes of oak spice and caramel sweetness.
Old Forester The President’s Choice Bourbon Whiskey Barrel No. 162 stands as a testament to the distillery’s heritage of quality and innovation, offering bourbon enthusiasts a rare and collectible expression that embodies over 150 years of excellence in every sip.
