Old Forester Releases Triple Char Bourbon from Whiskey Row Distillery
Old Forester has introduced a new bourbon called Triple Char as part of its 117 Series. This special release is made solely from whiskey distilled at their Main Street facility in Louisville, making it a unique offering. Aged for seven years in barrels that have been charred three times longer than usual, this bourbon enhances its wood flavor. With a proof of 115, it showcases a delightful mix of citrus, pepper, sour cherry, pecan pie, ripe plum, vanilla, coffee ice cream, and honey. Priced at $65, it's available at the distillery and may appear on the secondary market. The 117 Series debuted in 2021 and features previous releases like High Angels' Share and Whiskey Row Fire. Old Forester belongs to Brown-Forman, the parent company of Woodford Reserve and Jack Daniel's.
