Description

Old Forester 1870 Original Batch is the first expression in the Old Forester Whiskey Row series, created as a tribute to George Garvin Brown's original batching process from 1870. To emulate this, barrels are selected from three different warehouses, each with a different day of production, entry proof, and age profile, then batched together and minimally filtered.
