Do you hear that? That’s the sound of tumbleweed rolling across the whiskey landscape. There are 30 days in September and only one new whiskey made any noise last month. I’m guessing everyone was busy at the Kentucky Bourbon Festival.
Old Forester 2010 Birthday Bourbon
Timeframe: Any day now
ABV: 47.5%
Price: $49.99
This is always something to look out for. Brown-Forman releases a new one every year and like the annual Evan Williams release from Heaven Hill, this tends to exemplify some of the best stuff in the age range coming out of Brown-Forman. This year’s batch came from 72 barrels that went to wood on October 24, 1997. They waited in the middle of Warehouse K on the 5th floor in ricks 42, 43, and 45. (I wonder what happened to rick 44?) I’ll be grabbing a bottle and so should you.
That’s it for September. As always, let me know if I missed anything.
Drink wisely my friends,
Richard
Can I buy this just about anywhere? I live in Philadelphia and want to buy it as a gift.
Yes, it should be available in the Philadelphia area.
