Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is Kentucky straight bourbon from Old Forester, the Brown-Forman brand that honors founder George Garvin Brown, who the brand credits as the first to bottle bourbon for consistent quality. Drawn from hand-selected barrels and bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), it pours deep amber with copper highlights and opens with a sweet, assertive nose of coffee, chocolate, creamy butterscotch, licorice and oak. The palate is full: ripe apple, stone fruit, clove and nutmeg over toasted oak, with a lingering finish that fades from light sweetness to oak and a last touch of apple. That extra proof is the point. It gives the whiskey enough structure to stand up in an Old Fashioned or Boulevardier without going thin, yet it stays balanced enough to sip neat or with a splash of water. We carry it because it is a dependable, flavorful workhorse that suits both the newer bourbon drinker looking for more depth and the enthusiast who wants a reliable bottle for the home bar.
Pairs well with
- Smoked brisket — The toasted oak and warm baking spice echo the bark and smoke while the butterscotch sweetness softens the richness.
- Pecan pie — Creamy butterscotch, chocolate and coffee notes on the nose line up naturally with caramelized nuts and brown sugar.
- Home bar cocktail night — At 100 proof it keeps its apple, stone fruit and clove character through an Old Fashioned, Boulevardier or Whiskey Sour.

Is it better neat or in cocktails?
Both work well. Neat or with a splash of water shows its bold character and subtle spice, while ice brings out deeper fruit and oak. In cocktails, the 100 proof holds up against bitters and sugar in an Old Fashioned, and it suits a Boulevardier or Whiskey Sour.
