Old Forester K&L Exclusive Single Barrel “Warehouse L, Floor 1, L-01-020-03” Straight Kentucky Bourbon Whisky (750ml)

$49.99

Don’t get me wrong here, I love barrel proof offerings. It seems like that’s all we’ve gotten lately from the single barrel program, and while they’re great for adding your own dilution, sometimes it’s just nice to have a bottle that’s already perfectly dialed in. There is something to be said for a whiskey you can sip neat or throw into a cocktail and not be afraid to have a couple more. Nailing a barrel right at 100 proof is a skill not every distillery has, but Old Forester knows how to do it right. They were the very first to bottle their own whiskey to protect its integrity, and we got ourselves a fresh one from them. It’s coming in a little shy of 5 years old, essentially making it our own “bonded” bourbon ready to go out the gate. It has that classic Old Forester spice and caramel with chocolatey undertones, almost like a cinnamon graham s’mores in a bottle. Between the clove, anise, root beer, and wet oak, you get mocha latte with a touch of pink peppercorn and red bean mochi. This whiskey begs to be enjoyed next to your favorite pilsner or mixed into an Old Fashioned or Paper Plane. Josh Gelfand

Old Forester has been knocking it out of the park recently. The Whiskey Row series has seen tremendous demand with each release, the Birthday Bourbon is one of the hottest whiskies every year, and the single cask program remains one of the most straight forward, delicious, and accessible programs in Kentucky. This new release was filled into the barrel on February 4th 2021, dumped on December 18, 2025 and bottled the following day. Diluted down to 100 proof, this is a exemplery expression of classic Old Forester, ready for a neat or rocks pour, and perfectly proofed for your favorite bourbon cocktail.
