Palate: On the palate, Old Forester 1920 presents dark caramel that coats the tongue, complemented by layers of malt nuttiness and sweet graham cracker. The rich, sweet flavors are warmed by green peppercorn and coriander spice, with a subtle hint of cedar that brightens the overall profile.

Finish: The finish is long and smoky, with lingering notes of caramel and spice that provide a satisfying conclusion to the tasting experience.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is Kentucky straight bourbon built to evoke the bold whiskies of the 1920s, bottled at 115 proof (57.5% ABV) as part of Old Forester's Whiskey Row Series. Made by Brown-Forman from a corn-dominant mash bill and matured in new charred oak, it opens with cherry preserves, drippy caramel, dark chocolate and thick maple syrup, framed by seasoned oak spice. The palate is dense and coating: dark caramel, malty nuttiness and graham cracker, warmed by green peppercorn, coriander and a bright touch of cedar, before a long, smoky finish. It suits the enthusiast ready for a higher-proof pour and rewards a little patience in the glass, though a large ice cube opens up the sweeter caramel and graham cracker notes. It also has the backbone to hold its own in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. We carry it because it delivers big, layered flavor at strength without losing its sweetness, and it makes a compelling reference point for anyone exploring what full-proof bourbon can be.

Pairs well with

Smoked BBQ ribs — The bourbon's dark caramel and long, smoky finish echo the char and sweet glaze of slow-smoked ribs.
Pecan pie for dessert — Its maple, caramel and nutty notes mirror the toasted pecans and syrupy filling.
Charcuterie night with friends — The peppercorn and baking spice on the palate cut through cured meats while the cherry and chocolate notes keep each sip rich.

Questions about this bottle

How strong is Old Forester 1920?

It is bottled at 115 proof, or 57.5% ABV. That higher strength is part of its bold, full-bodied character, so many drinkers start with a small neat pour and then try it over a large ice cube to see how the flavors shift.

What does it taste like?

Expect cherry preserves, caramel, dark chocolate and maple syrup on the nose with seasoned oak spice. The palate brings dark caramel, malty nuttiness and graham cracker, warmed by green peppercorn, coriander and a hint of cedar. The finish is long and smoky, with lingering caramel and spice.

Is it better neat or in cocktails?

Both work. Neat is the way to appreciate its full intensity, while a large ice cube slightly softens it and brings forward caramel and graham cracker. Its rich, layered profile also stands up well in classic cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a Manhattan.

Does it carry an age statement, and what is it made from?

It carries no age statement. It is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Brown-Forman, made from a corn-dominant mash bill and matured in new charred oak. It comes in a standard 750 ml bottle.
