See price historyAbout this bottle
Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond honors the year the Bottled-in-Bond Act was signed, a piece of legislation Old Forester's own founder helped push for, and this expression follows the law's rules exactly: a single distilling season, aged at least four years in a single federally bonded warehouse, and bottled at precisely 100 proof. Made from Old Forester's standard corn, rye, and malted barley mash bill, it's non-chill filtered, which keeps more natural oils and flavor intact than a filtered bourbon. Expect a deep amber color and a rich, full-bodied flavor with oak, caramel, and spice, closing on a long, smooth finish with a hint of sweetness.
How to drink Old Forester 1897
Pour it neat or on the rocks — bottled-in-bond proof gives it enough backbone to also shine in a Manhattan.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve Old Forester 1897 Bottled In Bond?
Neat or with a single large ice cube in a rocks glass lets the aromatics open up; a tulip-shaped glass like a Glencairn is best for nosing. Once opened, keep the bottle upright in a cool spot out of direct light — whiskey doesn't spoil, but it slowly loses aroma once the bottle is more than half empty, so it's best finished within a year or two.
