Old Forester 117 Series 1910 Extra Extra Old Batch 1 Straight Bourbon Whisky 375ml — a 375ml barrel strength expression from Old Forester’s 117 Series program, inspired by the 1910 era when Old Forester pioneered finishing bourbon in a second barrel after production disruptions at the distillery, presented in the half-bottle format.

The 1910 designation references a moment in Old Forester’s history when a Saturday production shutdown required the distillery to finish the batch in a second barrel — inadvertently creating the inspiration for the Double Oaked program. The Extra Extra Old Batch 1 represents an extended aged expression from the 117 Series at 93 proof (46.5% ABV) in the collectible 375ml format.
