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.

What the verse says

Good to know

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.
