Old Forester ‘Black Label’ Nicholas Single Barrel 100-Proof Straight Bourbon Whiskey #9

This is a huge score for the Bourbon Buyers Club. Black Label barrels are rare, and getting one of this quality is even rarer. This is an absolutely flawless selection from Warehouse J on the third floor—bourbon geeks know exactly what that means.

Old Forester has been good to us over the years. We’ve bought more barrels than any restaurant in America—our name is literally etched on the Old Forester Wall of Fame at the distillery. Every barrel we’ve selected has been exceptional, but this Black Label? This is the one.

This is the smooth, easy-drinking 100-proof single barrel. It doesn’t hit you over the head—it just goes down beautifully. This is why we wait years between Black Label barrels—when you find one this good, you know it immediately.
