Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Strength Bourbon Whiskey Warehouse K Floor 8 Party Source Pick 135 Proof

Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Strength Bourbon, Warehouse K Floor 8 — Party Source Pick, 135 proof. A single barrel selection by The Party Source, one of America's most respected independent spirits retailers (Bellevue, Kentucky), from Warehouse K, Floor 8 at the Old Forester Distillery in Louisville.

The Party Source's selection adds named retailer provenance to an already distinctive barrel position. Warehouse K, Floor 8 sits near the top of the rick house, where extreme seasonal temperature swings drive the whiskey deep into the charred oak — producing deep caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak character at high proof concentration. At 135 proof, this is the highest-proof Old Forester Warehouse K single barrel in the current Wooden Cork collection, above the Distillery Selection at 132.4 and the OFD Not What You Think at 134.7.
