Taste – juicy apricot and orchard fruit lead the palate with butterscotch, clove, and nutmeg offering a sweet and spiced profile, and white pepper adds a bit of texture.
Finish – Slightly dry and oaky with pear and white pepper persisting through a long but balanced finish.
ABV: 47.5%

“Our 117 series is all about experimentation, and the characteristics of Warehouse I make it perfect for this innovative series. This one-of-a-kind bourbon is a great way to celebrate the holidays.
About Old Forester
(From the distillery): Old Forester is Brown-Forman’s founding brand, founded in 1870 by George Garvin Brown. Brown believed Old Forester was so pure and consistent that he sealed it, signed it, and pledged, “There is nothing better in the market.”
