Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style is the 3rd expression in the Old Forester Whiskey Row series. This craft expression celebrates the continuation of distillation through prohibition.
During prohibition, all whiskeys had to be bottled at 100 Proof. With a barrel entry proof of 100, the “angel’s share” would have created a 115 proof whiskey after maturation.
To pay homage to this era, Old Forester presents 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon at 115 proof to represent the rich flavor profile this bourbon had nearly 100 years ago.
