This rare single barrel selection was personally chosen by Campbell P. Brown, a 5th generation family member, from barrel #AB123 after aging at least 24 months.\n\nThe Old Forester legacy spans over 150 years as America's first bottled bourbon, established by George Garvin Brown in Louisville, Kentucky. This President's Choice represents the pinnacle of their craft, with Campbell Brown continuing the family tradition of selecting only the most exceptional barrels that embody the distillery's commitment to quality and consistency.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, vanilla bean, toasted oak spices, honey sweetness, dried orange peel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied with brown butter, dark chocolate, cinnamon bark, maple syrup, roasted nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering oak tannins, baking spices, leather notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50.0% (100 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 Months Minimum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOld Forester Distilling Co.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLouisville, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Barrel #AB123\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSelection\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Selected by Campbell P.
