Hail To Old Forester's President's Choice

Old Forester announces the national debut of one of its most coveted and rarest expressions, President’s Choice.Inspired by private single barrels offered in 1964 by former Old Forester president George Garvin Brown II, these expressions are specifically selected from matured barrels with certain quality and characteristics. Previously available only at the Old Forester Distillery in Louisville, this marks the first time President’s Choice Bourbon and a new expression, President’s Choice Rye, will be offered nationwide.“President’s Choice has always been an incredibly rare and cherished bottle, and most consumers have never seen it, let alone tasted the whisky,” Old Forester Master Taster Melissa Rift said. “We are honored to bring it to a wider audience.”“Every barrel selected for President’s Choice tells a story,” Old Forester Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo added. “These are the barrels that showcase an extraordinary depth of character. Whether it’s the bourbon or our new rye, each bottle represents the pinnacle of Old Forester’s craftsmanship.”Each President’s Choice barrel is aged between 7 - 9 years, and bottled at proof points selected by Trigo and Rift, traditionally ranging from 110 to 125 proof.Old Forester's President’s Choice Bourbon and President’s Choice Rye each have a retail price of $225.
