Old Forester® Celebrates National Bourbon Day with the Return of President's Choice

Old Forester® is set to thrill whiskey enthusiasts with the eagerly awaited return of its President's Choice line on June 13. This commemorative release celebrates both National Bourbon Day and the eighth anniversary of the Old Forester Distillery located on Main Street, Louisville. The President's Choice series includes both a bourbon and a rye selection, showcasing the pinnacle of craftsmanship and meticulous barrel selection.

The tradition of the President's Choice collection dates back to 1964, when former Old Forester president, George Garvin Brown II, offered exceptional single barrels to private customers. Today, this legacy lives on as Old Forester continues the commitment to excellence, selecting only the best barrels based on their maturity, complexity, and flavor profile.

Limited Release Details

This year’s expressions, the President’s Choice Bourbon and the President’s Choice Rye, will be available in limited quantities, with each bottle retailing for $225. Bulk of this selection has been aged between 7 and 9 years and bottled at higher proof points, ranging from 110 to 125 proof.

According to Master Taster Melissa Rift, "It's always an exciting time for us to bring the next iteration of President's Choice to whiskey enthusiasts who truly cherish exceptional taste. Our process of tasting each barrel is rooted in the history of this label, and this year's release is no exception."

The debut for the limited edition bottles will commence at 10 a.m. ET on June 13, both at the Old Forester Distillery for in-person purchases and through their online store, shop.oldforester.com, with shipping available to certain states including D.C., KY, NE, NH, and ND.

Craftsmanship at Its Best

Assistant Master Distiller Caleb Trigo emphasizes the importance of selecting barrels that represent the utmost quality, stating, "Bringing this coveted bottle to audiences means tasting for the highest, most extraordinary depth of our best barrels. Each is hand-selected to ensure it meets our exceptional standards." The craftsmanship embedded in every Old Forester bottle is unparalleled, and both the bourbon and rye variations are considered the peak expressions of their offerings.
