About Old Forester 1897 Whisky Row Series Use Code 20372
Old Forester 1897 Bottled in Bond from the Whiskey Row Series is a 100 proof (50% ABV) Kentucky straight bourbon produced by Brown-Forman, available in 750ml at $39.75—use code 20372 for potential savings. This Bottled-in-Bond expression recreates a historic recipe, adhering to strict 1897 Act standards: aged at least four years in a bonded warehouse, from one distillery and season, bottled at exactly 100 proof. What makes it special is its balanced sweet-spicy profile with caramel, oak, rye spice, dark fruits, and vanilla, offering deeper intensity than the series' 1870 Original Batch due to higher proof and richer mouthfeel. Ideal for bourbon enthusiasts seeking classic, well-rounded flavors without overwhelming uniqueness, it compares favorably in its category—similar to Willett Pot Still Reserve but more accessible than pricier Old Forester expressions like 1920, delivering excellent value at this price point.
