Description

Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond Whisky
Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond is crafted to honor a watershed moment in bourbon history – the U.S. Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897. This expression follows the Bottled in Bond standards that whisky must be aged in a federally bonded warehouse for at least four years, the product of one distillation season, one distiller and from one distillery and bottled at 100 Proof. The concept behind these regulations – the idea of ‘sealed in quality’ – was something Old Forester introduced in 1870, as America’s First Bottled Bourbon.
Aroma: A classically styled bourbon profile with robust, intense caramel and vanilla bean, complimented by dried fruits, sweet leather and cured tobacco.
Taste: Sticky toffee and smoky wood tones lead the flavor with figs, dates and raisins offering dimension. Black pepper and cinnamon spice provide structure and texture.
Finish: Deep fruit, spice and oak notes layered over dark caramel and vanilla. Big, bold and classic with leather and cured tobacco as it longers on.
