Old Forester 1924 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 10 Year

Old Forester 1924 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Aged 10 Years

This release feels like a missing chapter finally slid into place. Solomon has long been a vocal supporter of the Whiskey Row Series, and 1924 is the bottle that answers the quiet question collectors kept asking. Where’s the age statement?

Here it is. Ten years, stated clearly, doing the heavy lifting.

While this bourbon doesn’t lean on higher proof theatrics, the flavor never feels underdressed. Instead, it trades brute force for composure. The oak is mature and confident, the sweetness measured, the spice intentional. It’s proof that depth doesn’t have to shout to be heard.

On the nose, caramelized sugar and dark vanilla drift alongside seasoned oak and baking spice. The palate follows with toffee, roasted nuts, cinnamon, and a structured oak backbone that feels deliberate rather than dominant. The finish is long, dry, and elegant, lingering with warmth and restraint rather than heat.

Solomon often notes that 1924 adds the age and gravitas the Whiskey Row lineup needs, anchoring the series with maturity. Even without punching up in proof, nothing is missing in the glass. The flavor shows up fully formed, steady, and confident.
