Final Thoughts
The first release in the Whiskey Row Series, 1870 honors the year Old Forester was first bottled. Crafted from barrels from three different warehouses, it offers a layered profile at 90 proof. The nose carries caramel, apple, honey, and cinnamon. The palate delivers vanilla, toffee, baked apple, and light spice, with a smooth, approachable body. The finish is gentle and slightly sweet, with oak and fruit lingering softly. Best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water, it pairs well with roasted chicken, apple pie, or soft cheeses. A refined bourbon steeped in history.
