The massive tornado that ripped through Western Kentucky overnight on December 10, 2021 caused tremendous losses. But, as Kentuckians have shown throughout history, we’re resilient, and as distillers and bourbon fans have also shown, we answer the call. In fact, the Kentucky Distillers’ Association…
Please enjoy my Old Forester Barrel Strength Rye Review! It seems like eons ago, but Old Forester introduced their first rye in 2019. It is a Kentucky rye, which generally has a much lower percentage of rye in the mash bill than the classic Indiana 95/5 rye that we all know and love. Often the rye content is very close to 51%, which is the legal minimum. Old Forester took a bit of a different approach, using a bit more rye, and then quite a bit of malted barley, giving its rye a unique character.

This isn’t the first Old Forester Single Barrel I’ve reviewed, but it is the first one I bought. Bought it, put it in the back of a closet and then forgotten about till I packed up my crap, moved out of Los Angeles and up to the mountains. I discovered a lot of things I […]

A few months after finding the 1981 Old Forester I found this 1975 Old Forester Bonded. I stumbled upon it, tucked away in the back of a liquor store, on a dusty hunt. It was in fantastic condition, but one thing about it stood out immediately: the color. It looked a little darker than some […]
