Old Forester The President's Choice Kentucky Straight Bourbon – Single Barrel #278 The President's Choice is Old Forester's rarest single-barrel bourbon. It continues a private barrel program that company president George Garvin Brown II started in 1964. Each bottle comes from one hand-picked barrel aged in Old Forester's brick warehouses in Louisville and is bottled at its own barrel strength. The label is hand-filled with the barrel number, minimum age in months and proof. It was sold only at the Old Forester Distillery in Louisville until 2025, when it got its first limited national release. Tasting Notes (Each barrel is different. Recent barrels reviewed by critics have shown:) • Nose: Red fruit and cherry, baked apple, toffee, vanilla and cinnamon over toasted oak • Palate: Cinnamon and clove spice, brown sugar, dried fruit and nuts • Finish: Long and dry, with oak, leather, tobacco leaf and nutmeg Product Details • Distillery: Old Forester Distilling Co., Louisville, Kentucky (Brown-Forman) • Style: Single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon, barrel strength • Age: Barrels typically 7 to 9 years old (exact months are stated on the label) • Proof / ABV: Varies by barrel, traditionally 110 to 125 proof (see label) • Size: 750ml • Availability: Very limited, single barrel #278 Why It Stands Out These barrels are chosen by Old Forester's leadership as the best in the warehouse, and each one is bottled separately with its own label. No two bottlings are the same. Serving Suggestions Pour it neat and add a few drops of water to bring out the fruit and spice. It's a good bottle to compare side by side with other President's Choice barrels. Stop by Bansum Wine & Liquor in Patchogue or order online for shipping.
