Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon

The Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style is a bold, 115 proof bourbon that pays tribute to the brand’s resilience during Prohibition. At the time when most distilleries shut down, Old Forester was one of the few granted a special permit to continue bottling whiskey for medicinal purposes. This bourbon recreates the rich, full-bodied flavor of that era’s bourbon, reflecting what the brand might have produced at barrel strength during the 1920s.
