Popular whisky brand Old Forester, known for its bourbons (and occasional rye whiskey too), is coming out with a new release of its rarest expression, President’s Choice. This historied whisky dates back to 1964, when the president of the Brown-Forman corporation, George Garvin Brown II, selected a few of these private single barrels for sale to the public.
“President’s Choice is our most sought-after product – and most people never get the chance to buy a bottle,” said Old Forester’s Master Taster Melissa Rift. “We’re excited to announce this special President’s Choice release just in time for Father’s Day.”

To create this release, the whisky has been aged in single barrels for 7 to 12 years, adding depth of flavor and imparting unique tastes. The process of creating the whisky means that the abv of each barrel varies, so it comes in at a proof between 105 and 120. The brand says that it likes to let its President’s Choice age until it is good and ready.
