I just had lunch with Chris Morris and he passed on a bottle of the Old Forester Signature to me. This is a repackaging of Old Forester 100 proof so that it will stand out as being something different from the 86 proof Old Forester. I am not expecting a great change flavor profile, which is fien with me since Old Forester 100 proof has always been one of my favorite bourbons, but I will do a a review later.
Just to let you know, there will be a tasting event of old Old Forester 100 proof bourbon and sneak preview of this year's Birthday Bourbon and Old Forester Signature at the Filson on August 24. I will post the details when they are all worked out. Chris is hoping Chuck Cowdery will be available for the event as well, so the panel would be, Chris Morris, Myself and hopefully Chuck.
