Old Forester 1924 (2026 Release), $50%

Price: 120 Issue: Summer 2026 Reviewer: David Fleming Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

A limited annual release celebrat- ing Old Forester receiving its medicinal distilling license during Prohibition in 1924. Carrying a 10-year age statement, this has a slightly higher corn ratio of 79%, compared to 72% for the traditional recipe. Milk chocolate, cherry, and dried herbs on the nose, with more chocolate and herbs on a warm, expansive, full-bodied palate that’s filled with depth and flavor. Amazingly well balanced; soft but highly flavorful.
