I can't speak to what Old Forester put out in the past with its single barrels, or what it kight do in the future. However, the store pick I received at the end of 2022 was phenomenal. Great for those who love the Old Forester profile, cask strength, or even those just getting into bourbon who want a flavorful adventure. You're milage might vary, but perhaps Old Forester has finally found the sweet spot for their single barrel program.
