Nose: Exhibits rich waves of dark caramel, chocolate fudge, toasted oak, and brown sugar, followed by cherry syrup, roasted nuts, and a subtle tobacco hint. Palate: Showcases maple syrup, vanilla custard, and brown butter, alongside deep oak, molasses, graham cracker, and cocoa powder notes. Finish: Extended, opulent, and evolving, with lingering notes of dark chocolate, toasted marshmallow, and robust oak. This pour doesn't just disappear; it radiates.

About this bottle
President's Choice, the rarest Old Forester expression, originates from 1964 when George Garvin Brown II first provided private single barrels to clients. The 2025 iteration features single barrels aged 7-9 years, with proofs between 110-125. While typically exclusive to the distillery, the 2025 release will be accessible at select retailers nationwide in limited amounts starting June 2025. The distillery will also offer a limited number of bottles for in-person purchase and via its online store at 10 am ET on June 14, 2025, coinciding with Father's Day, with an MSRP of $225.
