Old Forester Barrel Strength Single Barrel 131.2 Proof

Old Forester Barrel Strength Single Barrel "Topflight Series S4B4"

Experience the raw power of the Shively powerhouse. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for exclusive single barrel selections, is proud to present Old Forester Barrel Strength "Topflight Series S4B4". This specific single cask release is a masterclass in heat-cycled maturation, pulled from Warehouse L, Floor 1.

While high-floor barrels are known for their rapid evaporation and intense spice, Floor 1 barrels are coveted for a different reason: richness. Resting closer to the ground where the air is cooler and more humid, the whiskey develops a dense, viscous mouthfeel and deep, resonant sweet notes without losing the signature Old Forester heat. Bottled at a scorching 131.2 Proof (65.60% ABV), this "Topflight Series" pick is unfiltered, undiluted, and unapologetically bold.

It captures the heavy, industrial soul of Old Forester, offering a profile that balances the classic "bananas foster" character with a dark, earthy complexity unique to the first floor.

Bottle Stats:

• Selection: Topflight Series S4B4

• Warehouse: L

• Floor: 1

• Proof: 131.2 (65.60% ABV)

• Mashbill: 72% Corn, 18% Rye, 10% Malted Barley

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Heavy and dessert-like. A massive hit of brown sugar and dark molasses leads the way, followed by roasted pecans, chocolate-covered cherries, and the signature note of caramelized banana.

• Palate: Thick, oily, and coating. The high proof is immediately apparent but well-integrated into flavors of deep toffee, maple syrup, and baking cocoa. The Floor 1 influence shows in the rich texture and notes of damp earth and seasoned oak.

• Finish: Exceptionally long and warming. The finish evolves from sweet vanilla bean to a lingering spice kick of cinnamon red hots and black pepper, leaving a "Kentucky Hug" that lasts for minutes.

This is Old Forester at full volume. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier source for this exclusive single barrel experience.
