Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon (Whiskey Row Series) 750ML is a high-proof, richly layered Kentucky straight bourbon inspired by the bold, unfiltered whiskeys produced during Prohibition-era “medicinal” bottlings. Bottled at barrel proof, it delivers intense depth, robust sweetness, and a full-bodied oak-forward profile that showcases Old Forester’s signature character in its most powerful form.
Nose: Deep and expressive with aromas of dark caramel, burnt sugar, toasted oak, vanilla bean, and rich cocoa. Hints of cherry, dried fruit, and baking spice emerge alongside subtle smoke and leather.
Tasting Palette: Bold and viscous with concentrated flavors of toffee, molasses, dark chocolate, and caramelized oak. High-proof heat is balanced by layers of vanilla, cinnamon, clove, and sweet corn richness. The charred barrel influence adds structure and intensity, leading into a long, warm finish with lingering spice, oak, and dark sweetness.
Drinking Style: Best enjoyed neat to experience its full barrel-proof complexity, or with a few drops of water to soften heat and reveal deeper caramel and fruit notes. Also works well in strong, spirit-forward cocktails like a high-proof Old Fashioned. Pairs beautifully with grilled meats, smoked barbecue, rich chocolate desserts, and aged cheeses.
