This limited, collector-grade release showcases Old Forester's signature bold, fruit-forward house style amplified by extra age and full barrel strength. If you've been hunting for a bourbon that drinks like a special-occasion splurge but still overdelivers on character, this is the bottle to put on your home bar shelf or gift to the whiskey lover who has everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOld Forester, distilled by Brown-Forman in Louisville, has the distinction of being the first bottled bourbon in America, and it's stayed true to its original mash bill and unwavering commitment to barrel selection ever since. The President's Choice series is where the distillery's master tasters hand-pick standout single barrels, and Barrel #180 is a prime example of what nearly eight years of Kentucky heat cycles can do to a well-built bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toasted oak, brown sugar, dried cherry, warm baking spice, faint leather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, vanilla bean, charred oak, dark stone fruit, cinnamon heat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, lingering oak char, dried fruit sweetness, and a lasting peppery spice kick\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58.85% (117.7 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e700mL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAged at least 92 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOld Forester (Brown-Forman)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLouisville, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Barrel #180\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerious bourbon collectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e a rare, single barrel release that stands out in any home bar or display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGifting the bourbon enthusiast:\u003c\/strong\u003e an impressive, high-proof pour for birthdays, retirements, or holiday gifts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat sipping and slow evenings:\u003c\/strong\u003e full-proof depth rewards patient sipping over a single large cube.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilding out a premium home bar:\u003c\/strong\u003e a showpiece bottle alongside your everyday bourbon lineup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Old Forester President's Choice Barrel #180 good for sipping neat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a full-proof, high-strength bourbon built for neat sipping, with enough oak structure and dark fruit sweetness to stand up to the 117.7 proof without needing water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to Old Forester 1920 or Statesman?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBarrel #180 pushes further into bold, high-proof territory than 1920 or Statesman thanks to its extended 92-month age and single barrel selection, making it a step up for fans who already love those expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this bourbon good for mixing cocktails?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be used in cocktails, but given its rarity and price point, it's best reserved for neat pours or on the rocks so you can fully appreciate the oak, spice, and dark fruit layers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes a single barrel bourbon like this special?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSingle barrel bourbons like Barrel #180 are bottled from one specific barrel rather than blended with others, meaning each release has its own unique flavor fingerprint shaped by that barrel's position and aging conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Forester","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53515946459430,"sku":"OLD-FORESTER-THE-PRESIDE-Y5EOW2","price":549.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/7951\/6015\/files\/OldForesterThePresident_sChoiceStraightBourbonWhiskey_1.webp?v=1784850792","url":"https:\/\/pbexpressliquor.com\/products\/old-forester-presidents-choice-barrel-180-bourbon","provider":"PB Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
