In 1910, a fire on Whiskey Row led to Old Forester being re-barreled into heavily charred barrels. This event gave birth to Old Forester Whiskey Row 1910, composed of mature Old Forester Bourbon, and finished in a custom-made, heavily charred barrel for 7-9 months. This extra old batch extends the finishing period to 18 months.
Tasting Notes:

Flavor: The palate is balanced and buttery with pops of spiced pear and apple as notes of chocolate and cinnamon graham cracker persist
Finish: A balanced finish presents warm spiced cinnamon, apple skin and lightly charred oak creating a long and flavorful finish
