Old Forester 1870 Bourbon - Item Code: 07511
Discover Old Forester 1870 Bourbon:
Old Forester 1870 Bourbon, a meticulously crafted American whiskey, stands as a testament to timeless distillation practices. This particular expression pays homage to the year when George Garvin Brown revolutionized the industry by sealing and selling whiskey exclusively in sealed glass bottles—a first for bourbon, ensuring quality and consistency.
The spirit itself is a harmonious blend of rich flavors that are indicative of its meticulous production process. It is composed of barrels from three different warehouses, each contributing unique characteristics due to variations in temperature and humidity. The result is a complex layering of aromas and tastes.
On the nose, Old Forester 1870 presents an inviting bouquet of warm spices, hints of oak char, and an undercurrent of vanilla sweetness. The palate reveals a symphony of flavors where caramel and bright citrus notes dance with baked apples and toasted almonds. Subtle undertones of chocolate and ripe berries add depth to this well-rounded profile.
Producer Notes: Brown-Forman Corporation
Brown-Forman Corporation is a major name in the world of drinks, hailing from Louisville, Kentucky in the United States. This company has been crafting beverages since 1870, which means they’ve been at it for over 150 years! They’re like artists but with drinks, mixing and creating flavors that people all over the world enjoy.
One of their most famous creations is Jack Daniel’s whiskey. It’s a kind of whiskey called Tennessee whiskey, which is similar to bourbon but has an extra step called charcoal mellowing that makes it taste super smooth. People recognize Jack Daniel’s by its square bottles and black label; it’s a real classic.
But Brown-Forman doesn’t just make whiskey; they also have other types of drinks. For example, they make Woodford Reserve, which is a fancy type of bourbon known for its rich and full flavor. Bourbon lovers often look for this one because it’s considered top-notch.
Then there’s Finlandia Vodka from Finland – another drink under their umbrella. It’s really clean and crisp, perfect for making all sorts of mixed drinks or even sipping straight if you’re brave!

American Whiskey is a distinct category of distilled spirits primarily made from grains such as corn, rye, barley, and wheat. This spirit is characterized by its unique distillation methods—either pot still or column still—and is aged in new charred oak barrels. The aging process varies by type; for instance, straight whiskey must be aged for a minimum of two years. The flavor profiles differ significantly among styles: Bourbon offers sweet notes of caramel and vanilla with hints of spice, while Rye Whiskey presents a spicier character with peppery undertones and citrus hints.
The texture of American Whiskey can range from smooth to rich, depending on the specific style being enjoyed. Regions like Kentucky are renowned for Bourbon production, while Tennessee is known for its mellow Tennessee Whiskey that often undergoes charcoal filtering. Commonly used in classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned and Manhattan, American Whiskey can also be savored neat or on the rocks. Understanding terms like mash bill and proof further enhances appreciation for this versatile spirit.
