Old Forester 1910 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky (750ml)

Collectors note, this marks the fourth and final expression of the Whisky Row Series. On 22nd October 1910, a fire on the bottling line halted production of Old Forester. Complicating matters, there was a vat of mature whisky waiting to be bottled. Otherwise facing ruin, the whisky was instead stored in new, charred oak containers to rest until the line could be repaired. What emerged was remarkable enough to become an entirely new expression, but one that wasn't to be labelled as "Bourbon" - even though it fits all the legal requirements. The double barreling was the first documented of its kind, now mimicked in this Old Forester that sees a second maturation at a low proof in barrels "charred nearly to the point of incineration”, allowing more of the sweet wood sugars to dissolve into the whiskey. The term "Old Fine Whisky" has been adopted as a historical nod for this edition. 46.5% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews... Not sure how much time you have in the day. But anyone with less than twenty minutes to spare shouldn't even think about starting on this one. Easily one of the most complex and satisfying bourbons out here. 95.5 points - Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2025-26

...The last expression in the Whiskey Row series delivers a uniquely satisfying experience that stands out among both its siblings and other double barreled expressions at large. For some, this release may find the extreme char may be too much. Oak is predominant throughout the entire sip and lingers for a long time once the sip ends. However I find this to be Old Forester 1910’s main selling point. The oak influence comes off as refined and sweet and doesn’t come across as dry until the very end. It’s a nice deviation from other double barreled products on the market and one that finds a nice place in the Whiskey Row series lineup. OId Forester 1910 had high expectations to live up to. It was saved as the last expression in the Whiskey Row series and it came after the highly adored Old Forester 1920. Despite not quite living up to the same bang for your buck that Old Forester 1920 delivers, it does succeed in delivering a unique sip that’s very enjoyable in its own right. - breakingbourbon.com
