Old Forester Signature 100 Proof 1L, 50%

Description

Old Forester Signature 100 Proof 1L, 50% is a bold Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey from the historic Old Forester brand. Hand-selected from carefully chosen barrels and bottled at a full 100 proof, it is designed to preserve a rich, robust and distinctly spicy flavour profile.

The “Signature” name honours Old Forester founder George Garvin Brown, who placed his personal signature on every bottle as a guarantee of quality and consistency. This connection gives the expression a strong link to the brand’s heritage while presenting the whiskey in a powerful, bartender-friendly style.

Old Forester uses its traditional bourbon recipe of 72% corn, 18% rye and 10% malted barley. The relatively generous rye content contributes extra spice and structure, balancing the sweeter flavours of vanilla, butterscotch, black cherry and candied citrus.

Bottled at 50% ABV, this expression delivers greater intensity than the standard Old Forester 86 Proof. The larger 1-litre format makes it particularly practical for home bars, entertaining and cocktail preparation while remaining full-flavoured enough to enjoy neat or over ice. The 1-litre bottling is recorded under barcode 5099873006054.

Why Choose Old Forester Signature 100 Proof 1L, 50%

This bourbon stands out because it combines Old Forester’s traditional Kentucky character with a powerful but approachable 100-proof strength.

Its flavour profile balances creamy vanilla, butterscotch and cane-sugar sweetness with black cherry, candied citrus, nutmeg, baking spices and charred oak. The higher strength provides excellent texture and intensity without losing the recognisable fruit-led Old Forester style.

For whiskey drinkers, it offers a robust bourbon suitable for sipping neat or with a small amount of water. For cocktail enthusiasts, its 50% strength and spicy structure allow the whiskey to remain expressive in an Old Fashioned, Manhattan or Whiskey Sour.

The larger 1-litre bottle also provides additional serving capacity for home bars, events and hospitality use.

Ideal For.

This bottle is ideal for bourbon drinkers who enjoy rich Kentucky whiskey with vanilla, butterscotch, black cherry, candied citrus and warming oak spice.

It is ideal for bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts looking for a full-strength bourbon that maintains its flavour when combined with bitters, vermouth, citrus or sugar.

It is also ideal for Old Forester collectors seeking the Signature 100 Proof expression in the larger 1-litre format.

Collector’s Note

Old Forester Signature 100 Proof is primarily produced as a drinking and cocktail bourbon rather than as a numbered limited edition. Its collector interest comes from the Signature presentation, the connection to founder George Garvin Brown and the less commonly encountered 1-litre bottle format.

The current official presentation is generally identified simply as Old Forester 100 Proof, while bottles carrying the fuller Signature wording can be attractive to collectors interested in earlier labels, international-market releases and packaging variations.

Examples with clean labels, an intact closure and a strong fill level will have the greatest display appeal. However, its main value remains the combination of Old Forester heritage, high-proof flavour and practical versatility rather than scarcity.
