Old Forester Single Barrel Barrel Strength, Warehouse K, Floor 8 — a 134.7 proof single barrel selection carrying the "OFD: Not What You Think" pick name, bottled uncut and unfiltered from one barrel aged on the eighth floor of Old Forester's Warehouse K in Louisville.

Old Forester's single barrel program identifies each cask by its warehouse and floor position. Warehouse K is a heat-cycled rickhouse, and upper-floor positions like Floor 8 sit where seasonal temperature swings are most extreme — driving more aggressive expansion and contraction of the spirit in and out of the charred oak, which concentrates both proof and flavor. At 134.7 proof, this barrel reflects that upper-floor intensity. The "OFD: Not What You Think" name is the selecting account's barrel designation, distinguishing this individual cask within the program.
