Embrace the ultimate high-proof Kentucky experience with the Old Forester Barrel Strength Single Barrel 'The Hedge Night of Kentucky'. Custom-selected for the most discerning bourbon enthusiasts shopping at Nestor Liquor, this exclusive single barrel pick boasts a custom theme sticker and an unforgettable, powerhouse flavor profile. Drawn from a single barrel aging in the upper echelons of Old Forester's rickhouses, this is an uncut, unfiltered monster of a bourbon that pulls absolutely no punches.
Matured in Warehouse J on the 8th Floor, this specific barrel endured the extreme heat and temperature fluctuations of the upper rickhouse, forcing the whiskey deep into the charred American oak. The result is a staggering 133.7 Proof (66.85% ABV) release that extracts maximum wood sugars, tannins, and complex spice notes from the barrel. It is a viscous, incredibly intense expression that showcases exactly why Old Forester's barrel strength program is legendary among collectors.

Finish: Exceptionally long and deeply warming. It leaves an enduring "Kentucky Hug" marked by sweet tobacco, old leather, and a lingering trail of rich vanilla and seasoned oak.
