About this bottle
This is a single-barrel, barrel-proof selection of Old Forester Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, picked by the Bourbon Enthusiast community and bottled uncut and unfiltered straight from barrel K-5 at 115.2 proof. Expect the bold Old Forester house profile pushed further by that barrel strength — dense caramel, brown sugar and baking spice on the nose, a hot but well-structured palate of oak, dark fruit and cinnamon, and a long, warming finish that holds up to a splash of water. Because it's a single barrel, this exact flavor profile won't repeat once the barrel is gone. It's built for bourbon drinkers chasing a specific barrel rather than a repeatable recipe.
How to drink Old Forester K-5 Barrel Proof
Add a few drops of water to bring the proof down into an easier drinking range — it opens the fruit and spice without losing the barrel's punch. It also makes an outsized Old Fashioned if you want to spend it that way.

Questions about this bottle
Do I need to add water to a barrel-proof bourbon like this?
It's not required, but a few drops of water usually opens up the fruit and spice notes and makes a 115+ proof pour easier to drink without losing the barrel's character.
Does this work in cocktails?
It's high enough proof to stand up in a bold Old Fashioned or Manhattan, though most people buy a single-barrel pick like this to drink neat.
Why is each Old Forester single barrel pick different?
Every barrel ages slightly differently even from the same distillery and mash bill, so a barrel-proof single barrel pick like K-5 has its own specific proof and flavor that won't be exactly repeated in another barrel.
