Old Forester 1870 750mL

Old Forester 1870 Original Batch brings together barrels from three warehouses for a bourbon with fruit, baking spice and vanilla character. At 90 proof, it works both as a neat pour and in a balanced Old Fashioned.

Key details

• Kentucky straight bourbon, USA
• 90 proof
• Blend drawn from three warehouses
• 750 mL bottle

Flavor profile

Apple and mandarin with honey, clove and nutmeg; vanilla and shortbread lead into gentle oak spice.

Pairing & serving

Try with apple pie, toasted pecans or aged cheddar. Serve neat or over a large cube.

After opening & when to enjoy

Keep upright, tightly closed, away from heat and sunlight. The spirit is ready to enjoy and does not continue barrel aging in the bottle. After opening, aim to enjoy within about a year for the freshest aroma, especially as the bottle empties.
