Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon Whisky

750mL | 115 Proof (57.5% ABV) | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Louisville, Kentucky

Process & Profile

Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style is the third release in the Whiskey Row Series, honoring the year Prohibition began. While most distilleries shut down in 1920, Old Forester was one of the few granted a federal license to continue bottling for medicinal purposes. This release is inspired by the high-proof style common during that era, bottled at a robust 115 proof.

The whiskey is crafted from Old Forester’s signature mash bill and aged in new charred American oak barrels. Its elevated proof showcases intense complexity and depth, delivering a bold experience that mirrors the rugged resilience of the Prohibition period.

Fantastic pour

This bourbon has all the great flavors I associate with a high end pour at a reasonable price. The nose translates well to the pallets and it has a nice long spicy finish
