Old Forester is one of the oldest continuously produced bourbon brands in the USA and is known for its full-bodied, spicy and slightly sweet flavours. The combination of carefully selected corn, rye and barley malt creates a particularly well-balanced whiskey with a pleasantly smooth texture and aromatic depth. The 1-litre bottle offers bourbon lovers excellent value for money and is suitable both for pure enjoyment and as a versatile ingredient for classic whiskey cocktails.
