Old Forester 1924 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky | 50% ABV (100 Proof) | 750 mL | Kentucky, USA | Aged 10 Years | Whiskey Row Series Limited Annual Release
Process & Profile
Old Forester 1924 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a limited annual release in the Whiskey Row Series, created to commemorate a pivotal moment in Old Forester history. The name references 1924, the year Old Forester was able to continue whiskey production on Louisville’s famed Whiskey Row during Prohibition because Brown-Forman held one of the few government permits allowing medicinal whiskey production. That historical link gives this bottle a different role in the lineup, positioning it as both a collectible release and a whiskey tied directly to the brand’s legacy.
Aged 10 years and bottled at 100 proof, Old Forester 1924 delivers a more mature and layered profile than many of the core Whiskey Row expressions. It is built for drinkers who want additional age, more developed oak, and a richer overall structure while still keeping the fruit, sweetness, and spice that define Old Forester bourbon. As part of the Whiskey Row Series, it also stands out because it adds an age-stated expression to a collection that already has strong recognition among bourbon buyers searching for premium Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.

How to Enjoy
Old Forester 1924 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is best enjoyed neat first so the age, texture, and layered spice can open naturally in the glass. Let it rest for a few minutes before sipping to draw out more of the cocoa, cherry, oak, and baking spice notes. A few drops of water can help soften the structure and bring more sweetness forward. This is also an excellent bottle for side-by-side tasting with other Whiskey Row releases, especially for customers who want to compare how the extra age changes the profile.
