Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style Bourbon Whiskey 750ml

Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style celebrates the brand's unique position as one of few distilleries permitted to produce medicinal whiskey during Prohibition. Bottled at 115 proof to represent the barrel strength common during that era, this Whiskey Row expression delivers bold flavors that would have provided strong medicine indeed. The result captures Prohibition's intensity in modern form.

The nose at 115 proof is powerful and complex – intense aromas of dark caramel, cherry cola, and charred oak leap from the glass, balanced by notes of dark chocolate, leather, and warm spices. The high proof amplifies every element, creating an aromatic experience that demands attention. On the palate, 1920 delivers Prohibition-strength impact: the 115 proof creates viscous texture carrying bold flavors of brown sugar, black cherry, intense cinnamon, espresso, and robust oak, all integrated with surprising smoothness for the strength.

This Prohibition style succeeds in capturing an era's intensity. The finish is exceptionally long and warming, with the high proof ensuring flavors persist like a prescription that works. This is bourbon for those who appreciate history and intensity equally. Whether enjoyed neat by those who can handle the heat, with water to explore its depths, or in prohibition-era cocktails that demand strong bourbon, Old Forester 1920 represents liquid history at full strength.
