Versatile Whisky Tops this List

Old Forester Whiskey

For me, there is nothing better than sipping terrific bourbon. This barrel is exclusive to our store and, in my opinion, worth every penny.

We sampled from several barrels sent to us by Old Forester from its single barrel program and picked our favorite. This comes in at 90 proof, with rich notes of caramel, vanilla and baking spices. This is a versatile whisky, which is very smooth for sipping but a staple for whiskey-based cocktails, as well.
