Product Description: 

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey • 115 Proof (57.5% ABV) • NAS (No Age Statement) • Mash Bill: 72% Corn / 18% Rye / 10% Malted Barley 

Step into the roaring spirit of 1920 with Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style, an homage to the era when bourbon survived by necessity and innovation. During Prohibition, only six distilleries were licensed to sell medicinal whiskey and Old Forester’s Whiskey Row permit KY-3 carried on its legacy. Today, Old Forester recreates that robust, historically inspired spirit by presenting it at 115 proof, approximating the strength it would have held after years in the barrel during that era. 

Tasting Notes

  •  Nose
  • A rich, bold bouquet of cherry preserves, drippy caramel, dark chocolate, thick maple syrup, and seasoned oak.  
  • Palate
    The entry is generous dark caramel coats malt nuttiness and graham cracker, warmed by green peppercorn and coriander spice, with cedar accents lifting the profile.  
  • Finish
    The finale opens with tart apple crispness, transitions through smoky marshmallow, chocolate, and ends on graham cracker sweetness layered with oak and subtle spice.  

 Serving Suggestions

 

 

  • Neat  With 115 proof, this bourbon demands respect. Sip slowly, let it breathe, and let its power reveal itself.
  • Large Ice Cube / Water  A single large cube, or a few drops of water, can mellow the high proof just enough to coax out deeper fruit and oak nuance.
  • Signature Cocktail  “Prohibition Derby”
    • 2 oz Old Forester 1920
    • ½ oz cherry syrup
    • 2 dashes orange bitters
      Stir over ice, strain into a chilled coupe, garnish with a cherry and orange twist—classic, strong, and true to the spirit of Whiskey Row.
