About Old Forester President’s Choice
Old Forester President’s Choice is one of the most exclusive single barrel releases from Old Forester Distillery. Carefully selected from exceptional barrels, this bourbon represents some of the finest whiskey produced within the Old Forester rickhouses.
Originally introduced decades ago and later revived as a premium single barrel offering, the release allows whiskey enthusiasts to experience the unique characteristics of individual barrels. Each barrel is chosen for its remarkable flavor, depth, and balance before being bottled at barrel strength.
