The Old Forester Tribute Series represents the pinnacle of our craft, serving as the definitive expression of how our unique, heat-cycled maturation environment shapes flavor. This 12-year-old masterpiece greets the senses with aromas of caramel, sweet leather, and dried dark fruits, leading into a sophisticated, multidimensional palate of cherry cola, candied walnuts, sweet cinnamon, and cardamom. The experience culminates in a resonant finish of toasted oak, peppercorn, and black tea. What elevates Tribute above even our most celebrated annual releases is its distinctive batching and maturation process; by expertly harmonizing our highest age-stated stock—rather than relying on single-barrel or single-lot selections— and choosing an optimal proof between 110 and 125, we have created an unmatched, ultra-premium profile that sets a new standard for high aged bourbon.Old Forester
