Old Forester Single Barrel 100 Proof Selection J-7

Old Forester Single Barrel 100 Proof Selection J-7 is a hand-selected, one-of-a-kind bourbon drawn from an individual barrel, making it a truly unique expression. Each barrel develops its own flavor profile based on warehouse location, aging conditions, and time, meaning no two selections are exactly alike. Bottled at 100 proof, this release strikes a balance between bold character and approachable structure, showcasing the classic Old Forester style with added individuality.

This specific “J-7” selection reflects the nuance of its barrel, offering a more personalized experience compared to standard releases. With a mash bill built on a high corn base and a notable rye component, it delivers both sweetness and spice in harmony. Ideal for sipping neat or exploring in a Glencairn, it’s a strong pick for enthusiasts who appreciate store picks and limited, single barrel offerings.
