We Found THE BEST Old Forester Bourbon - The President's Choice

Күн бұрын

The President's Choice is a single barrel Bourbon that comes out from time to time through the Old Forester Distillery. The expression goes all the way back to 1890 when President of the Old Forester Distillery, George Garvin Brown (yeah, the Birthday Bourbon guy), gifted a single barrel of Bourbon to the Governor of Kentucky. In 1964, G.G.B. the 2nd, then President of Old Forester, brought the concept back and called it The President's Choice as the single barrel of Bourbon was labeled and bottled only for presidents or executives of other companies. This program lasted until 1971 but was eventually brought back as an expression that is available to the public. The bottle that we are trying is the 66th single barrel to be released, is 9.83 years old, and is 110.3°.

Friends, stop apologizing…no one (at least over 40) thinks that…we think good for you, enjoy, and tell us about it…it’s why we’re watching

We just get a lot of FOMO comments usually when it’s a bottle like this. Just trying to not “rub it in” for the more sensitive viewers 😂.

@kamahhl 22 күн бұрын

YES! We want to know how it tastes etc. Everyone knows it's limited. Put in blinds, make it fun content, and forget complainers

Old Forester has released President's Choice twice so far this year through their online shop. I was lucky to grab a 7 year old and now I will have to have a pour tonight, great video you two!

@TheTspivey16 22 күн бұрын

Totally agree- we just had our 17 year anniversary so I splurged for a $50 pour of George T Stagg and it was incredible

I happened upon this for their online release on the same day and felt so fortunate to procure a bottle of 57 and I cannot wait!

congrats Congrats!!!! I have been looking and asking for this bottle since hearing about its release. I doubt I get it but, you never know.

I clicked immediately as soon as I saw this video. There are so few reviews of OF presidents choice on KZfaq, thank you both! Dont worry about apologizing or pandering to the clowns who get triggered when you review a bottle they can’t get. They’re immature children who are jealous of everyone else who has what they can’t.

I have never seen Sara react to a taste like this one!! I will keep my eyes open for this at some of the best locations in Detroit to order a taste of this.

Hey guys... Thanks for sharing something that I will never be able to purchase!! 🤣🤣Just kidding, share it all with us. Don't sweat the haters... they'll always be there no matter what. What a great find, talk about the right place at the right time, congrats and "Drink More Bourbon"!

Hey Chad, I spoke you in line as you were leaving. I was able to get a batch 67 and it was excellent as well. I'm glad you guys loved it! I've seen them online on the occasional holiday and around Derby they were randomly available in the gift shop. I've missed it by minutes a handful of times, so happy to finally get one.

Oh yeah, thanks for saying hi and I’m glad you got a bottle!

It sounds heavenly! Thanks for the review. $225 is a solid price for something so exceptional. I have paid more and got less.

Don’t ever feel bad about scoring a hard to get bottle. The people who get upset at reviews like should probably seek another hobby. Congrats on the score! I hope to one day stumble upon this one! Cheers guys!

The wife and I must have just missed you at old forester. Was lucky enough to pick this bottle up after our tour there that morning. Amazing 🤩 🥃

Got to meet Sara at the Railbird Music Festival! Was nice enough to come over to get a selfie in the rain! Missed Chad. Anyway, I loved Chad's reaction to this tasting. I find myself laughing as I taste an amazing pour like Chad did at 5:25. Love you guys!! Keep up the good reviews. On my Kentucky trip recently I got to taste some really good stuff and came home with a few good bottles to boot.

I don't think $225 is so far out of range for the experience. There's stuff out there at $100-$200 more with less to offer. Thank y'all for the video 🥃❤️🥃

I thought this years version tasted too much of a golden corral buffet. For me I found that the four roses 135 to be best of the year so far.

Is that the president of Old Forester? 8:36 Ah, you answered the question. 🙂

@treytison1444 22 күн бұрын

I don't care that people who talk about bourbon for a living can go get rare bourbon. I do however think it's wild that bourbon people have preferences between lotteries and rushing to a location to get in a long line and hope for the best. Because I don't want that for any product. If a product has about 1% of the demand available for sale and only in one place, then I simply don't care about that product.

Great bourbon is recommended at msrp. Who would've thought lol

You and hundreds of other people. One of the guys at my St. Louis bourbon club landed 2 because his daughter went down and they let her buy two before father's day. Just NUTTY how much insane whiskey you can land living in the Louisville area. She is a student there and lands unicorns every single week for her dad. Probably spending $1000-$1500 a month but every bottle is a unicorn.

I’m pretty sure the presidents choice is cask strength, just not the jet fuel proof of King of Kentucky. Similar to proof levels of Michters Barrel proof. I would agree with you, besides King (which uses early times mash bill) this is the best that old Forester puts out

I understand the idea of covering the whiskey... but you really should let it fully breath on a fresh crack. If the glass is gonna sit for an hour or two, sure but a high proof fresh crack really needs 30 minutes in glass before that first sip IMO.
