Distiller Notes
For generations, Louisville insiders have enjoyed mint juleps made with Louisville’s Hometown Bourbon – Old Forester. In honor of that grand tradition, Old Forester created the Old Forester Mint Julep, named the Official Drink of the Kentucky Derby.
The aromas are a superb blend of classic Old Forester bourbon and fresh garden mint. On the palate, a winning combination of rich Old Forester bourbon and refreshing mint flavor, followed by the exceptionally smooth finish of aged Old Forester bourbon and crisp mint.
What Whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.
Coming in a multitude of styles depending on its origin, Whisk(e)y’s flavors range across the board from the sweet, caramel and vanilla-dominated American Bourbons to the briny, peat-heavy Islay Single Malts from Scotland. Though production methods differ widely, all Whiskeys are made by distilling beer made from some type of grain, such as barley, corn, wheat or rye. After the distillation process is complete, the new, clear spirit is transferred to wooden casks where it matures, a process that can take up to thirty years or more.
