Old Forester 1897 Bourbon Review

Please enjoy my Old Forester 1897 Bourbon Review! As with all of the bourbons in the Old Forester Whiskey Row series, the year on the label has significance for Old Forester, or for bourbon in general. In this case it is both. 1897 is the year that saw the passage of the Bottled in Bond Act. Let’s quickly review the act itself and its namesake Old Forester 1897 Bourbon.

Castle & Key Bourbon Review

Well, it has been a long time coming, but Castle & Key’s first bourbon has finally been released! Castle & Key Bourbon Batch 1 sold out at the distillery in only a few hours on March 26, although it may be available in stores. Due to the rapid sale of Batch 1, Castle & Key started selling Batch 2 at the distillery in limited quantities on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in April. Batch 2 started appearing in stores, but has also been selling out quickly.

MB Roland Barker’s Mill Bourbon Review

Barker’s Mill is the first Bottled In Bond bourbon from M.B. Roland Distillery. Its namesake mill existed from the early to mid 1800’s until the mid 1900’s. According to the website, the mill included a distillery, although I can’t find any further information about that. The mill had a few names during its existence, one of which, interestingly, was Miller’s Mill. That may have been its originally name back when it was owned and operated by a James Miller. Also, M.B. Roland Distilery is located on Barkers Mill Rd, so there is a definite connection to this name.
