Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Whisky

57.5% ABV

1920 marked the beginning of Prohibition. Old Forester obtained one of 6 licenses issued in the state of Kentucky to continue to produce whiskey for "medicinal purposes". During this time, all whiskies had to be bottled at 100 Proof. With a barrel entry proof of 100, the “angel’s share” would have created a 115 proof whiskey after maturation. To pay homage to this era, Old Forester presents 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof to represent the rich flavor profile this bourbon had nearly 100 years ago.

This is an absolute delight. Rich caramel notes with some peppery spice and a long finish. Drinks much easier than you would assume a 115 proof whiskey would, but the finish has a bit of sting to remind you of what's in your glass.
