This classic Bourbon is a bartender favorite for a very good reason.
Old Forester has about as much tradition as you can get in a Bourbon. It is a single brand of Bourbon that has been continuously available for 145 years — most of that time from the same family of craftsmen at the same distillery. Interestingly, it was the first Bourbon to be available exclusively in sealed glass bottles. There was a lot of nefarious re-bottling and dilution going on and this was a way to ensure quality and integrity. Today it is owned by Brown-Forman, available in eight different varieties and is a sister Bourbon to Woodford Reserve.
Everyone has their own "perfect" set of specs for their Bourbon. But when it comes to ABV, we like 46% for sipping and 50% for cocktails. That little extra oomph makes a big difference if you want to taste the Whiskey when it’s holding up the other ingredients. Old Forester Signature Bourbon is a bartender’s favorite at one hundred proof. The mash bill is high corn at 72% with 18% rye and 10% malted barley — delivering rich caramel and toffee notes that marry perfectly with the known universe of mixers. And it just added a Double Gold medal from the 2020 San Francisco World Spirits Competition to its long list of awards.
Smartass corner:
Old Forrester is named after a "cooperative" physician who regularly prescribed it to his patients during Prohibition "for medicinal purposes." The "Signature" in the Bourbon’s name is a tribute to George Garvin Brown — the original founder of the brand.

Ratings & Reviews
Galen,
I have really enjoyed this. I’m on my second bottle. It has a sharp hit with the first sip that I really like. Then there is a subtle residue that I’ve grown to look forward to. My comments are not technical but come from pure enjoyment.
Mark,
Unexpectedly good. It's sweet, but has some nice baking spices as well, plus some richness from the 100 proof. I tasted it blind with some more expensive BiB 100 proofers, and it wound up just edging out EH Taylor Small Batch (!) for first place. YMMV but terrific QPR and one of my go-tos as an everyday sipper.
Gregory,
It’s ok but a little sweet for me. I prefer Wild Turkey 101 for a lower priced bourbon.
Kent,
Like Four Roses a great bourbon for Old Fashioned's or other mixed drinks. Really stands up at 100 proof. A great go to for everyday drinks. Nice with a cube if you let it sit a bit.
guest,
Solid bourbon with plenty of punch and plenty of sweetness.
